CoRL 2026 to host first live Child-Robot Dexterity Challenge on stage
k7agar · x · 2026-11-12
The SPIN workshop at CoRL 2026 will run the first live Child–Robot Dexterity Challenge: robots and a child performing the same everyday tasks side by side on stage, offering a direct look at what robots can and can't do today. Organizers provide a bimanual YAM setup (MolmoAct 2 style) and a dexterous Sharpa hand setup, and participants can bring their own hardware (subject to approval); applications close Oct 5.
The event features Jitendra Malik and other researchers, plus talks by Georgia Chalvatzaki, Jeannette Bohg, Yunzhu Li and Mike Rabbat, on Nov 12 in Austin, TX.
