Sense
Context-aware robotic perception using mobile, wearable, environmental, and infrastructure-based sensors.
Workshop with IEEE PerCom 2027
PerRobotics 2027
Pervasive Robotics: Sensing, Intelligence, and Coordination for Human-Centered Smart Environments
VenueGoa, India
Conference DatesMarch 8-12, 2027
Robots as Pervasive Computing Agents
Robots are becoming embodied components of smart environments. PerRobotics 2027 will bring together researchers working across pervasive computing, robotics, sensing, IoT, edge intelligence, mobile and distributed systems, cyber-physical systems, and human-computer interaction.
Think
Real-time edge, fog, cloud, and foundation-model intelligence for resource-constrained robotic systems.
Coordinate
Safe human-robot and multi-robot coordination across dynamic, connected, and human-centered environments.
Call for Papers
We invite original research, system designs, experimental studies, experience reports, demonstrations, and forward-looking position papers at the intersection of robotics and pervasive computing.

Submission Guidelines
All submissions and reviews will go through the official PerCom conference management system, HotCRP. The workshop track link will be posted here when available.
Paper Requirements
- Workshop papers follow the standard PerCom workshop length limit: 6 pages.
- Authors may include 1 additional page, for a maximum of 7 pages total.
- All accepted papers must be presented in person by a designated presenter, preferably one of the authors.
- Proxy or remote presentations are not allowed unless pre-approved by the workshop chairs, general chairs, and steering committee at least one week in advance.
Registration Policy
- PerCom does not have a workshop-only registration fee.
- Each accepted paper requires full PerCom registration.
- There is no student-rate registration for accepted workshop papers.
- Papers without a valid full registration or that are not presented in-person will be excluded from the proceedings.
