Blind Dexterity won the Best Paper Award at the CoRL 2026 Workshop on Everything Beneath the Policy. Authors are from DFKI and TU Darmstadt (Jan Peters' group among others).
The work declares war on 'sensor-maxxing': for the first time, push-resilient humanoid walking is achieved using only joint encoders — no IMU, no force/torque sensors. Coauthors include O. Kaidanov, Puze Liu and Jan R. Peters, with compute credits from ROBOTIS.
