ICRA 2026 Workshop: From Data to Decisions: VLA Pipelines for Real Robots
The ICRA 2026 Workshop on 'From Data to Decisions: VLA Pipelines for Real Robots' focuses on advancing Vision-Language-Action (VLA) systems for robotics by addressing the entire end-to-end pipeline—from scalable data collection and curation to training, inference, and evaluation. The workshop aims to establish best practices and standardized metrics for generalization and safety in real-world robotic applications, with a strong emphasis on bridging the gap between simulation and physical robot deployment.
