ICRA 2026 Workshop on Multi-Agent Robotic Systems: Real-World Collaboration and Interaction
The ICRA 2026 MARS-EAI Workshop on Multi-Agent Robotic Systems focuses on enabling real-world collaboration and interaction among multi-agent robotic systems in unstructured environments such as warehouses, healthcare, and construction sites. It brings together researchers from robotics, machine learning, and embodied AI to bridge the gap between simulation and practical deployment through invited talks, paper sessions, and hands-on discussions.
