We are pleased to host the 2025 IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots (Humanoids), to be held from September 30 to October 2, 2025, at COEX, Seoul, Korea. The event will be co-located with the 2025 Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL), which will take place from September 27 to 30. These conferences are organized by IEEE RAS and Google DeepMind, respectively. Robotics enthusiasts, ranging from experts in software and hardware to vision and perception, natural language processing, motion, and dexterity, will come together at COEX from September 27 to October 2. Robotics Week, a dedicated event for robotics and AI enthusiasts, will provide a unique opportunity to explore advancements in humanoid robots and machine learning.

The conference topics of interest for paper submission, workshops and tutorials include, but are not limited to:

• Human biomechanics and motor control Human-body and behavior modeling
• Bionic / human-inspired design principles for humanoids
• Human-inspired robot control
