The prestigious International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (AIR 2025) is scheduled to be held from May 9 to 11, 2025, at Nazarbayev University, Astana, Kazakhstan. Hosted by the Center of Excellence in Medical Robotics and Research (CEMRR) at Nazarbayev University and technically sponsored by the Soft Computing Research Society (SCRS), this major international academic event will take place in hybrid mode, allowing for both physical and virtual participation. AIR 2025 is envisioned as a global platform where eminent researchers, academicians, industry professionals, and government representatives will gather to explore, share, and advance the frontiers of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and their wide-ranging applications across sectors.
A major highlight of AIR 2025 is its impressive lineup of distinguished plenary and keynote speakers, representing world-renowned institutions and pioneering work in cutting-edge technologies. Among the plenary speakers are Prof. Shane Xie from the University of Leeds, UK, known for his work in autonomous systems and robotics; Prof. Bharat Jasani from Cardiff University, UK, a specialist in AI-driven medical imaging; Prof. Bhaskar Choubey from Siegen University, Germany, who brings expertise in neural engineering and biosystems; and Prof. Roland Goecke from the Australian National University, an authority in affective computing and intelligent vision systems. The keynote sessions will also feature Dr. Krutthika Hirebasur Krishnappa, a research scientist from Southern University and A&M College, USA, and Mr. Nihar Malali, Senior Solutions Architect at National Life Group, USA, both of whom are expected to provide valuable industry-oriented insights into the real-world applications of AI.
The conference has opened its call for papers, inviting original full-length research papers, short papers, abstracts, and poster presentations. Full-length papers accepted through peer review will be published in the highly regarded Springer book series Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems, indexed in SCOPUS, ensuring broad academic reach and citation. Short papers and poster presentations will be included in the official conference e-souvenir, offering visibility to a diverse range of scholarly contributions. The conference emphasizes innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and thought leadership, making it an essential forum for anyone engaged in AI and robotics research.
Key dates for AIR 2025 include the submission deadline for full papers on March 15, 2025, notification of acceptance by April 9, 2025, and the deadline for final paper submission and author registration on April 24, 2025. The conference registration fee for regular authors is $250 USD, with special discounted rates available for SCRS members and affiliates of Nazarbayev University. Co-authors and invited speakers will also benefit from separate, specially structured fee categories.
