On November 4, 2026, an International scientific conference entitled “Intelligent Robotics and Mechatronics. Artificial Intelligence” was held in Almaty as part of the World Congress of Mechanical Scientists and Engineers (WCMSE-2026).
The event was held at Gylym Ordasy venue and brought together scientists, academics, engineers and specialists from Kazakhstan and other countries.
The plenary session of the conference was moderated by Professor Marco Ceccarelli of the University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy), Honorary Academician of the National Engineering Academy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The session addressed key issues in the design of robotic systems, the development of adaptive robots, mathematical modeling of their motion, and the creation of manipulators for industrial and surgical robotics.
A presentation on the control of mobile robots designed for transporting heavy loads was delivered by Amandyk Tuleshov, Vice-President of the National Engineering Academy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Scientific Adviser to Joldasbekov Institute of Mechanics and Engineering.
The conference sessions covered two main areas. The first session focused on industrial and agricultural robotics, mechatronics, automated control systems, and the development of prostheses and exoskeletons.
The second session was dedicated to artificial intelligence and intelligent technologies. Participants presented research in the fields of machine learning, neural networks, the Internet of Things, autonomous systems, industrial process automation, and intelligent monitoring.
The participants also discussed prospects for the development of humanoid and service robotics, as well as the application of artificial intelligence technologies to medical signal analysis and the assessment of mineral resources.
The conference provided a platform for the international exchange of scientific expertise, the presentation of new engineering developments, and the strengthening of cooperation among universities, research institutes, and engineering organizations.
