RSS 2026 Workshop Towards Robust Execution of Long-Horizon Whole-Body Control Tasks
The RSS 2026 Workshop focuses on advancing long-horizon robotic execution, addressing challenges in whole-body control, real-world robustness, and closed-loop decision-making for humanoid and mobile manipulation systems. It emphasizes innovative, non-traditional submissions including demos, videos, and exploratory work to foster community discussion on practical deployment of embodied intelligence.
Paper fit
