YuXiangIRVL reports on the Robot Learning mini-workshop at the NSF FRR Robotics Annual Meeting, featuring four invited talks:
- Nadia Figueroa (UPenn): composable dynamical-system skills for interactive manipulation.
- Guanya Shi (CMU): humanoid learning from human data with physics grounding.
- Erdem Biyik (USC): robot learning from everyday human feedback.
- Wanxin Jin (ASU): scalable contact simulation and physics-grounded dexterity learning.
A closing panel discussed current capabilities and limits of robot learning, representations and world models, and the path to more generalizable robots.
