Humanoid Europe 2026 · Munich, 5–6 November 2026 – Europe–China Humanoid Robot & Physical AI Summit

Humanoid Europe 2026 is the Europe–China Humanoid Robot & Physical AI Summit. It takes place on Thursday 5 and Friday 6 November 2026 in Munich, Germany. The organiser is TaasLabs, with co-organiser VTW (Chinesisch-Deutsche Vereinigung für Technologie und Wissenschaft e.V.). It is for people who build, buy, fund, test or regulate humanoid robots, from Europe and China.

Yes. Humanoid Europe 2026, the Europe–China Humanoid Robot & Physical AI Summit, takes place in Munich on Thursday 5 and Friday 6 November 2026, together with AES Europe 2026 – Automotive Ethernet Summit at the same hotel. It covers humanoid robots, physical and embodied AI, components and mass production, safety and cybersecurity, and industrial applications. If you are coming to electronica at Messe München (10–13 November 2026), the summit is the week before.

People who build, buy, fund, test or regulate humanoid robots: robot makers and startups; suppliers of actuators, sensors, robotic hands, batteries and chips; manufacturers and logistics operators planning deployments; testing, certification and cybersecurity specialists; researchers and students; investors and policy makers. Speakers come from Unitree, Galbot, Flexiv, Bosch, Jabil, Allegro MicroSystems, SGS-TÜV Saar, VicOne, Fraunhofer IPA and IIS, the Robotics Institute Germany and others.

Four sessions. Session 1, full-stack development: force control and embodied AI, industrial deployment of embodied robots, and dexterous manipulation from simulation to real-world grasping. Session 2, supply chains and mass production: industrial-grade hardware, scaling from 100 to 10,000 units, battery systems and thermal management, and a Sino-European experts dialogue. Session 3, safety and security: real-time functional safety, data sovereignty and privacy compliance, and cybersecurity for OTA updates, remote control and cloud links. Session 4, commercial applications: multimodal AI system architecture, smart manufacturing and logistics, and a fireside chat on who buys the first 10,000 robots.

There are three passes. The All-in Pass covers both days onsite with all-area access, entry to the co-located AES Europe, networking lunches and coffee breaks, and the presentation materials after the event. The Student Pass gives students and young researchers the same onsite access. The Virtual Pass gives live online access to the main sessions on both days, plus the presentation materials. Group discounts are available for All-in and Virtual Passes. The current prices are on the official ticket page on humanoidevent.com. All passes side by side, with what each includes: tickets and prices.

Click “Unlock 15% discount code” at the top of this page to see it. When you then click through to humanoidevent.com, the code is filled in for you; you can also type it into the “Discount Code” field of the registration form.

Yes: you pay by invoice, and no card is needed. Click “Get your pass”, choose your pass on the official event website, humanoidevent.com, and fill in the short registration form; there is no online payment. The organiser’s team then contacts you and sends your invoice.

Yes. The Virtual Pass gives live online access to the main sessions on both days, plus the authorised presentation materials (electronic copy) after the event. Group discounts are available.

The Student Pass is meant for students and young researchers. It gives the same onsite access as the All-in Pass, including AES Europe; group discounts do not apply. The organiser may ask for proof of student status, so keep your student ID ready. The price is on the official ticket page on humanoidevent.com.

Yes. Session 2, “Sino-European Experts Dialogue & Effective Supply Chain Strategy”, covers hardware beyond the humanoid form factor with industrial-grade reliability, lessons in scaling humanoid manufacturing from 100 to 10,000 units, and battery systems and thermal management under high-rate discharge. Speakers from the supply chain include Andreas P. Friedrich (Managing Director Technology & Strategy, Allegro MicroSystems), Avtar Mandaher (CTO, Sarcomere Dynamics) and Rahul Chaudhary (Sales Director, Jabil). Confirmed partners of the summit include Schaeffler, NXP, GigaDevice and Hesai.

Yes. Session 3 is about robot safety and security: real-time functional safety strategies for humanoids in unstructured environments, data sovereignty and privacy compliance, and cybersecurity for OTA updates, remote control and cloud links. Speakers whose work covers safety and security include Marcus Rau (Global Operations Manager Functional Safety and Cybersecurity at the testing and certification company SGS-TÜV Saar), CHEN Yingao (Head of Product, Safety & Security, Unitree Robotics), LIU XinYi (Head of Safety & Security, Flexiv Robotics) and Andrew Kolisnyk (VicOne Europe). The organiser publishes the speakers for each talk as they are confirmed.

Regulation is on the summit’s topic list, including “The EU AI Act Revision Takes Effect: New Compliance Pathways for Chinese Robot Export Under the Reshaped Dual-Track Regulation”, and Session 3 has a keynote on data sovereignty and privacy compliance in the era of embodied intelligence. Lewis Leach, Head of Policy (UK and Europe) at Coco Robotics, is among the speakers. Session times and speakers per talk follow on the official event website.

From China, Unitree Robotics and Galbot speak and are event partners. From Europe, speakers include Generative Bionics (an IIT spin-off from Italy), Bosch, Fraunhofer IPA and IIS, the Robotics Institute Germany and the Humanoid Robotics Association Switzerland. Flexiv Robotics is among the speakers too. Event partners also include Huayan Robotics, JKY, China AI Connect and Business Upper Austria. The co-organiser is VTW, the Chinesisch-Deutsche Vereinigung für Technologie und Wissenschaft.

Yes. The All-in and Student Passes include networking lunches and coffee breaks on both days. On Day 1 the programme also lists customised meetings (by invitation) with supply–demand matchmaking and one-to-one meetings, and Session 4 ends with a fireside chat in which early adopters share their commercial strategies: “Who buys the first 10,000?”

English. Speakers come from Europe and China, from organisations such as Fraunhofer, KIT, Bosch, Unitree, Galbot and Flexiv.

The summit takes place at Holiday Inn Munich – City Centre, Hochstraße 3, 81669 München, Munich, the same hotel as the co-located AES Europe 2026. From Munich Airport (MUC), the S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 reach the city centre in about 40 minutes, and München Hauptbahnhof is a hub for ICE long-distance trains. Book your hotel early: electronica runs at Messe München the following week (10–13 November 2026). Venue, travel and hotel guide.

Cancellations, refunds and transfers to a colleague follow the organiser’s terms. Ask the organiser’s team when they contact you after you register, before you pay the invoice.

AES Europe 2026 – Automotive Ethernet Summit is also organised by TaasLabs and runs on the same dates at the same hotel. The All-in and Student Passes give access to both events. The Virtual Pass covers the Humanoid Europe main sessions online. (Not to be confused with the Audio Engineering Society’s AES Europe convention.)

No. Humanoid Robots Summit Europe is a separate event by ACG Robot, held in Stuttgart on 9–11 September 2026. The EMEA Humanoid Robot Summit took place in Munich on 16–17 June 2026. Humanoid Europe 2026 is the Europe–China summit by TaasLabs in Munich on 5–6 November 2026, with registration on humanoidevent.com. See all humanoid robotics events in Europe for 2026–2027.

Physical AI is AI that perceives, decides and acts in the physical world through a machine such as a robot, instead of only producing text or images. Embodied AI is the research field behind it: AI that learns through a body interacting with its environment. Humanoid robots are the most visible example of both. At Humanoid Europe 2026, keynotes such as “The Era of Physical AI Driven by Force Control” and “Empowering Embodied AI with Multimodal Fusion” show how these systems are built and deployed.
