We are honored to introduce Professor Thrishantha Nanayakkara, Director of Morph Lab and Professor of Robotics at Imperial College London, United Kingdom, as a Keynote Speaker at the 6th International Conference on Advanced Research in Computing (ICARC 2026).

Professor Thrishantha Nanayakkara leads the Morph Lab at Imperial College London's Dyson School of Design Engineering. His research delves into the synergy between brain, body, and environment, utilizing soft robotics to explore embodied intelligence. Notably, he established a bio-inspired robotics lab at the University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka, contributing to humanitarian landmine detection efforts. His work has secured over £5 million in research funding, advancing our understanding of human-robot interactions and the role of mechanical intelligence in perception and action.

We're looking forward to an insightful and inspiring keynote address from this distinguished expert.
