NeurIPS 2026 Call for Papers: Robot Learning with World Models

shaohua0116 · x · 2026-08-04

NeurIPS 2026 has announced the Robot Learning with World Models workshop, exploring how world models can advance Physical AI and address key challenges in robot learning, reasoning, and control.

The workshop highlights that while state-of-the-art world models (e.g., Genie 3, Cosmos) have driven significant progress in robot reasoning, learning, and zero-shot visuomotor control, they remain primarily vision-focused. Fundamentally functioning as controllable video generation models with plausible physical dynamics, they still face persistent challenges in consistency, physical accuracy, and multi-modal physical interactions.

The event aims to bring together researchers to exchange ideas on controllable video models and discuss bridging the gap between simulated dynamics and real-world physical interactions. The deadline for paper and demo proposals is August 29, 2026.
