Women in Robotics Day 2026
October 7th
On October 7, 2026, we’re celebrating International Women in Robotics Day. This day acts as a global moment to recognize and amplify the women building our robotic future. In every corner of the field, women are pushing robotics forward - it’s time we recognize them.
This day exists to make that work visible. We invite individuals and organizations to spotlight the women behind the robots: host an event, share photos from your teams and labs, and help broaden the stories people see when they think “robotics.” Visibility matters—especially for the next generation deciding where they belong.
Women in Robotics champions this visibility year-round through our projects Inspire, Connect, and Advance. WIR Day brings them together in one shared call to action. Whether you’re new to our community or a long-time member, October 7 is your perfect on-ramp: celebrate, share, and help us grow opportunity for women in the field.

Host an event
Rally your team, lab, classroom, or community for Women in Robotics Day. Events can be big or small: a coffee chat, a panel or lightnig talks, a lab tour, or a demo day, or a watch party for robotics talks. Pick a format that fits your context, invite allies, and come together to celebrate womens voices in robotics. When you’re ready, register your event to be featured.
Participate in our Photo Challenge
Help us fill the internet with authentic images of women in robotics. Submit photos of women building, testing, deploying and coding robots to highlight their contributions and inspire future roboticists. This is a great opportunity for research labs and robotics companies to showcase their talented women and under represented groups.
