Physical World Models for Scaling Embodied AI
Oct 01 2026Official conference site Site reachable
PWMS 2026 is a workshop co-located with IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, focused on Physical World Models as a scalable infrastructure for embodied AI. It explores how diverse, physically grounded experience—derived from human videos, robot demonstrations, and simulation pipelines—can enable predictive modeling and actionable representations for real-world robotic systems.
