No vision, no tactile sensors: humanoid dexterity from proprioception alone at CoRL
Jan_R_Peters · x · 2026-11-09
Aditya Bhatt (TU Darmstadt/DFKI) presents two CoRL 2026 workshop papers on surprisingly dexterous humanoid skills using proprioception alone — no vision, mocap, force/torque, or tactile sensors: Blind Dexterity (oral spotlight) on whole-body humanoid manipulation, and its sequel The Blind Skateboarder on dexterous robotic skateboarding via interactive perception, with paper, code, and weights coming soon. He also speaks at the 'Everything Beneath the Policy' workshop on how controllers, hardware, and data infrastructure shape robot learning (20 accepted papers, ROBOTIS-sponsored $1000 best paper awards) and the contact-rich loco-manipulation workshop.
