CoRL 2026 Workshop on Bimanual Dexterous Tool Use: From Contact-Rich Execution to Generalist Robot Intelligence
The BiDexTool 2026 workshop, held in conjunction with CoRL 2026 in Austin, Texas, focuses on advancing robot learning for bimanual dexterous tool use, bridging the gap between physically reliable, contact-rich execution and high-level generalizable reasoning. It addresses core challenges in representations, control, multisensory perception, data transfer, and reasoning for tool use across diverse domains like surgery, sports, and household tasks.
