Multimodal Learning for Robotic Manipulation
Small Data, Rich Sensing: Multimodal Learning for Robotic Manipulation
In conjunction with
IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems 2026
September 27, 2026 - October 1, 2026
David L. Lawrence Convention Center
Pittsburgh, PA, USA
Investigates when and how additional sensing modalities beyond vision, including tactile, force, and audio, are necessary for robust robotic manipulation. The framing question is useful: vision dominates robotic manipulation research, but contact-rich tasks are precisely where vision is occluded by the gripper, which is why tactile and force sensing keep proving necessary.
