This FREE event brings together a wide range of speakers to discuss the many challenges and opportunities in Embodied Intelligence research! The conference is structured with a morning session and afternoon session each day to accommodate different time zones. Each session includes plenary talks, panel discussions (including flash talks by leading researchers), and breakout sessions as shown in the tentative programme. While plenary and panel speakers are invitation-only, we solicit wider contributions in breakout sessions to facilitate more focused and technical discussions. In addition to traditional conference talks for all prominent and young academics, this year we will be running masterclasses when all participants can come and talk to leading researcher in all fields of Robotic exploration.

As we approach our 2025 milestone, we’re revisiting some of the most impactful moments from past conferences. Dive into previous conferences talks connecting to the conference LinkedIn.
We want to use this conference to answer some of the key open questions relating to EI, this includes, but is not limited to:
- What is (embodied) intelligence?
- How does computation come about from embodiment?
- How does language emerge?
- How do we understand intelligence and what theories do we have to represent it?
- What are the common curriencies?
- How can we measure complexity?
- What can not be done by computation intelligence?
- What ethical questions arise from EI?
Master classes are a newly introduced feature at the EI conference, designed to facilitate focused group discussions with experts, offering participants an opportunity to engage deeply and learn from leaders in the field.
Are you a student or an early career researcher and interested in speaking at one of the master classes? Register your 10-minute talk here.
