This book highlights the latest innovations and applications in robotics, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at ROMANSY 2026, the 26th CISM IFToMM Symposium on Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators, held in İzmir, Türkiye on September 14–17, 2026. The ROMANSY symposium is the first established conference that focuses on robotics theory and research, rather than industrial aspects. Bringing together researchers from a broad range of countries, the symposium is held bi-annually and plays a vital role in the development of the theory and practice of robotics, as well as the mechanical sciences.
