Registration is LIVE: 2025 IEEE RAS SSRR

Conference Registration is LIVE for the 2025 IEEE International Symposium on Safety, Security, and Rescue Robotics (SSRR).  This event will be held October 29-31, 2025, in Galway, Ireland.  For more information, or to register at the early rate, please click here.
IEEE SSRR was started in 2002 with a special mission to bring together roboticists and practitioners, where academics can present practically oriented research addressing real-world needs and engage with agencies, responders, and companies. The conference is single-track, with full papers published in IEEE Xplore. It traditionally includes field tours of training facilities or hosts exercises. SSRR is a hands-on, community-oriented conference. A Best Paper Award will be presented.
The safety, security, and rescue robotics community focuses on the ethical use of robots for public safety and security applications—such as law enforcement, anti-terrorism, nuclear decommissioning, and inspection of critical infrastructure; all phases of emergency management (prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery); and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
