2026 3rd International Conference on Intelligent Manufacturing and Mechatronics (IMM2026) is hosted by Qingdao University of Technology and held in Qingdao, China, from March 13-15, 2026. With the continuous improvement of science and technology, digital manufacturing and mechatronics have been widely used in intelligent manufacturing, which not only makes the working mode more convenient, but also helps to realize the update and upgrading of manufacturing solutions and avoid the problem of waste of manufacturing resources. While giving full play to the advantages of digitalization and mechatronics technology itself, the mechanical equipment in the digital mode will also be greatly affected by external factors when used, and the failure of mechatronics will lead to production stagnation, therefore, the improvement of intelligent manufacturing system and the fault diagnosis of mechatronics must cause us to pay great attention to it.  The conference has a rich agenda, including keynote reports, oral reports, poster displays, etc. It connects every industry scholar in the form of academic exchanges. Scholars at home and abroad are welcome to contribute and participate in the conference.

IMM 2026 is the premier interdisciplinary platform for the presentation of new advances and research results in the fields of Intelligent Manufacturing and Mechatronics.
