The author is at CoRL 2026 in Austin, noting the conference has grown from 400 attendees five years ago to 5,000+. Their Princeton group (PRISM) is presenting 6 papers:
- MolmoB0T (Oral): simulation-only training enables zero-shot manipulation on real robots
- TANGO (Spotlight): a whole-body VLA guides humanoids through clutter with language instructions
- AsyncVLA: remote VLA reasoning plus fast onboard control enables navigation despite latency
- Action Influence Maximization: actively collecting action-informative data improves world-model controllability
- Action Self-Distillation: a VLM learns language-guided navigation from trajectories without human goal labels
- EmbodiedSWE (late-breaking): coding agents solve dexterous tasks and turn verified solutions into robot training data
