Winter 2026 brings RoboCon back — and this time, it shines a little brighter.
RoboCon 2026 is where the Robot Framework community meets in full force: learning together, debating ideas, building tools, and reminding ourselves why open source works best when people actually show up.
Franz Haas is an active member of the Robot Framework community who has contributed significantly to embedded and short-run hardware testing. In this post, Franz shares practical insights on distributing Robot Framework tests and RPA solutions in constrained or isolated environments — an important topic for those working beyond typical CI/CD pipelines.
Why Robot Framework works (and keeps getting better)
Let’s be blunt: open source doesn’t magically maintain itself. Someone has to pay for infrastructure, review PRs, fund development, organize the community, and make real decisions. For Robot Framework, that “someone” is the Robot Framework Foundation.
RoboCon 2025 is a wrap. Two formats — in-person in snowy Helsinki and online a few weeks later via Gather.town — and both delivered. Different energy in each, but the same feeling throughout: this community keeps showing up, sharing, and pushing things forward.
In this blog post, we give voice to Franz Haas, a long-time Robot Framework community member.
Franz’s project was part of the Ecosystem Project Funding Round and received support from the Robot Framework Foundation in Fall 2024. Read about how Franz has developed a new project, Robot Framework Construct, which tackles the challenge of working with binary data in a structured and intuitive way within Robot Framework. Enjoy!
As the flowers bloom and the days grow longer, the Robot Framework Foundation is abuzz with activity, propelling forward with exciting updates, and nurturing the seeds of innovation. Here’s a peek at what we’ve been up to and what’s blossoming on the horizon!
The Dawn of RoboCon: A Tale of Valor and Vision
In the yesteryears, precisely 7.75 years past, within the mystical Far Realm of Finland, the noble knights of the Robot Framework Foundation embarked on a quest of grandeur. With hearts valiant and minds astute, they sought to forge an alliance of unparalleled might and wisdom.
In this post I am going to talk a bit about the RoboCon 2023 online and the preparations for the upcoming conference 2024.
Woah, we’re half way there!
RoboCon 2023 Helsinki left us craving for more. Luckily the RoboCon Online conference is just one week away!
This Blog is based on an interview with Tommi Holmgren, the VP of Solutions at Robocorp, as part of a series of interviews to shed light on different use cases of Robot Framework.
