Human Sensorimotor Augmentation:Collective Dialogues Shaping the Path from Hot‑Topic Research to Real‑World Adoption

Human sensorimotor augmentation is rapidly expanding across neuroscience, robotics, AI, and wearable technologies. Yet despite impressive laboratory results, real‑world impact remains limited. This workshop provides a space for critical discussion rather than definitive answers: we will examine what has worked, what has not, and how powerful new tools—from AI to advanced sensing—might help us close the gap between controlled experiments and real‑world deployment.

Submission Guidelines

Attendees should submit a 1-page abstract through the EasyChair portal.

Attendees whose abstract is accepted will present a poster during the "poster presentation session" on day 3 (Wednesday 8 July)

The poster (A0 size, portrait format) does not need to be submitted during registration phase, but we kindly ask the attendees to print it ahead of the presentation session.

Attendees are encouraged to prepare interactive demos to be shown during the presentation session (optional).

• Abstract submission deadline: 5 June 2026

• Notification of acceptance: 12 June 2026

• Registration deadline: 19 June 2026

• Workshop: 6–8 July 2026
