IROS 2026 Workshop: Foundation Models in Multi-Robot Systems
The FM-MRS @ IROS 2026 workshop focuses on the application of foundation models—such as large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs)—in multi-robot systems, emphasizing team-level autonomy, coordination, and scalable decision-making. It brings together researchers and practitioners to explore how these models enable language-guided planning, decentralized reasoning, safety mechanisms, and real-world deployment of robotic fleets.
