@cmurobotics.bsky.socialAs part of #IROS2026, hundreds of academics and industry leaders toured CMU's robotics + engineering facilities.
They got an inside look at what CMU researchers are working on inside the Robotics Innovation Center, Mill 19 and the National Robotics Engineering Center! 👀 🧠
@scsatcmu.bsky.socialRobots just got a lot more delicate! 🤖🤏
@cmurobotics.bsky.social researchers designed cheap, human-inspired robotic fingertips with silicone skin & tiny fingernails. By combining force & sound sensors, the hands can handle fragile items without crushing them! #IROS2026

@cmurobotics.bsky.socialLong-Horizon Adaptive Manipulation Planning (LAMP) helps robots plan not only where an object needs to go, but also how they can work together to get it there. 🤖➡️📍
MSR student and project co-lead Shuai Zhou presented this research at #IROS2026 yesterday!
@tticconnect.bsky.socialThursday, Oct. 1st, 1:30-5:30pm: Tianchong Jiang, Xiangshan Vincent Tan, Luzhe Sun, and Matt Walter present their research poster, "What Are We Actually Benchmarking in Robot Manipulation?" at the #IROS2026 Workshop on Reproducible Benchmarking of Robotic Grasping and Manipulation.
@grasplab.bsky.socialTomorrow, GRASP researchers in Sung Lab will present their work on the design of a robotic zipper for self-donning clothing at IROS 2026 as finalist for the Best Paper Award on Robot Mechanisms and Design!

@cmurobotics.bsky.socialHumanoids can’t always just hit the brakes and power down 🤖🛑
CMU researchers and @Siemens developed PRISM, a new way to monitor when a humanoid can safely stop, helping robots know when to stop before things get risky! #IROS2026
@aihub.orgFind out what's on the programme at #IROS2026. The conference kicked off yesterday, with keynote talks and plenary panel sessions beginning today

@glenberseth.bsky.social#IROS2026 has 1,933 papers. I filtered them down to 3 reading lists totalling 130 papers on robot learning, VLAs, RL fine-tuning of robot policies, imitation learning, and world models, with session times, rooms, and related workshops. Happy reading! www.fracturedplane.com/blog/2026/09...

@williamteo.bsky.socialAt #IROS2026 with NEAR Lab and MARMoT Lab. Two posters at the Intelligent Information Gathering workshop, Sunday 8:30–12:30:
– Pairwise approximation can select the wrong multi-robot plan (me)
– When is it worth looking again? (Jiaying Chen, Jeremy Chia)
