IROS 2026 Workshop on Data in Field Robotics: From State Estimation to Navigation
The IROS 2026 workshop 'Data in Field Robotics: From State Estimation to Navigation' brings together researchers to address the lack of robust datasets and benchmarks for mobile robots operating in unstructured, real-world environments. It focuses on advancing state estimation, perception, mapping, and autonomy through novel data collection methods, multimodal sensing, and benchmark design tailored to legged robots, drones, and humanoids in challenging terrains.
