AIRoA to Host ‘The UMI Arena’ Workshop at CoRL 2026

The AI Robot Association (AIRoA) announced that its workshop, “The UMI Arena,” has been accepted for CoRL 2026, which will be held in Austin, Texas, in November 2026. The workshop will feature an international competition evaluating policies in a shared physical robot environment. Data collected using YUBI will be made available on a limited basis to participating teams.

Evaluating policies in a shared real-world robot environment will allow researchers and development teams to compare models using different approaches under the same conditions. Participating teams will receive limited access to some real-world robot manipulation data collected using YUBI, along with training code, helping them start model development from a common baseline.
