Abhishek Gupta (UW & Amazon FAR) will speak at the Continually Self-Improving Robots (CSIR) workshop at CoRL 2026, Nov 12 in Austin.
The workshop's thesis: imitation learning alone can't cover the long tail of real-world tasks; robots need an "era of experience" where they autonomously collect data, discover failures, and refine skills through interaction. Speakers include Kay Ke (Physical Intelligence) and Jeff Clune (UBC). Spotlight papers cover test-time gradient guidance of flow policies and the WEAVER world model for manipulation.
