A CoRL workshop on making contact while moving

The workshop targets researchers who study robot learning, locomotion, manipulation, contact-rich control, perception, planning, and evaluation for physically interactive robots.

JW Marriott Austin, Austin, Texas Workshops: November 9, 2026

Intended Audience

Robot learning researchers

Attendees working on learned policies, representation learning, data-efficient adaptation, foundation models, and sim-to-real transfer for physical interaction.

Locomotion, manipulation, and control communities

Researchers studying whole-body control, legged or humanoid robots, mobile manipulators, non-prehensile skills, and contact-rich motion.

Benchmark and deployment builders

Researchers designing tasks, datasets, simulation assets, evaluation protocols, safety metrics, and real-world testbeds for contact-rich loco-manipulation.

Dissemination

Accepted papers, slides, and the post-workshop open-problems report will be archived on this website when available.
