Invited Papers

Invited sessions consist of 4 to 6 thematically related invited papers that will be presented together at the conference. Invited session proposals must include a brief statement of purpose and extended abstracts of the included invited papers. Invited papers are submitted and reviewed following the same process as contributed papers, and are included in the proceedings.

---

Workshops

Half-day or full-day workshops will be in one of two categories: (1) Tutorial Workshops focused on educating attendees about an emerging topic and (2) Research Workshops focused on bringing together experts to discuss an emerging field. Tutorial and workshop proposals must include a statement of objectives, a description of the intended audience, and a list of speakers with an outline of their planned presentations. Unless specifically requested, individual tutorial and workshop presentations are not peer reviewed, and do not appear in the proceedings.

---

Special Sessions

Special sessions offer a venue for exposing attendees to new and developing research fields and discussing specialized, novel, and not strictly technical topics (such as products) that do not fit in the other submission categories. Special Session proposals must include an abstract of the special session. Late Breaking Results: Poster presentations on late-breaking mechatronics research results will be presented during the conference. To enable presenters to share their most current findings, take note that the deadline for posters is significantly later than the deadline for papers. Posters will be peer-reviewed.

TMECH/AIM Focused Session

Submissions are called for the Seventh Edition of Focused Section (FS) on TMECH/AIM Emerging Topics. This Focused Section is intended to expedite the publication of novel and significant research results, technology, and/or conceptual breakthroughs of emerging research topics within the scopes of TMECH providing rapid access to the state-of-the-art of TMECH publications to the mechatronics community. Accepted paper for publication in Focused Section will be accepted by AIM 2026 concurrently for presentation only, with full information of the paper included in the preprinted proceeding of AIM 2026. The final publication in TMECH, however, will be subject to the completion of presentation in AIM 2026 with full registration fee paid. Rejected paper for publication in Focused Section (after the first or second round) will be forwarded to the Program Committee of AIM 2026 for further consideration. A final Accept/Reject decision will then be made by the Committee as a conference contributed paper for AIM 2026. See also the call for papers: Call for Papers TMECH/AIM Focused Section
