The JNRH (Journées Nationales de Robotique Humanoïde) will be held from June 10 to June 12, 2026 in Montpellier.

The JNRH serve as the main French-speaking forum for the academic and industrial community studying humanoid robots, with openings onto all legged robots, biomechanics and the study of complex poly-articulated systems interacting physically and cognitively with their environment. The aim of these days is to bring together the national research community around the many scientific issues involved in humanoid robotics: mechanical and mechatronics design, modeling and simulation, control, digital optimization, planning, learning, perception, motion analysis, etc. These days also enable us to open up our research to the sciences of movement in the broadest sense, in particular the study of natural movement, biomechanics, neuroscience, human-robot interaction and the study of exoskeletons and prostheses. PhD students, post-docs and researchers are invited to present their latest work and issues of interest in open scientific discussions and friendly exchanges. It will also be an opportunity to discuss the organization and unifying projects of our community.

June 10 (afternoon): Tutorial on reinforcement learning.

June 11–12: Conference.

Various presentation formats are envisaged: long or short presentations, posters, round tables. The program will be outlined after the call for contributions.

Keaynote speakers are Majid Khadiv (TUM), Harold Soh (NUS), Guillaume Bellegarda (INRIA), and Christine Azevedo Coste (INRIA)

• Submission opening: April 1
• Submission deadline: April 20
• Notification of accepted contributions: May 4
• Registration deadline: May 10
• Conference: June 10–12

A brief summary of your work (one or two pages in IEEE two-column format) is required. This abstract will be peer-reviewed by members of the humanoid robotics community. Accepted submissions will be presented either as an oral presentation or as a poster.

Registration will open soon and will cost around 100 euros.
