Dear Friends and Colleagues,<br>
<br>
AGIBOT, a Chinese leading robotics company specialized in embodied
intelligence, has launched the <b>AGIBOT World Challenge 2026</b>,
held in conjunction with the <b>IEEE International Conference on
Robotics and Automation (ICRA)</b>, which will take place in June
2026 in Vienna. Please see my video message <b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://es.sonicurlprotection-fra.com/click?PV=2&MSGID=202603251556520175447&URLID=16&ESV=10.0.28.7941&IV=1DD6E50E25148803694EB5661ECD7770&TT=1774454212998&ESN=NiEDieYJfwLrHrKIh%2FOrHaiNzxlwDCgSkxNZMt%2FiohQ%3D&KV=1536961729280&B64_ENCODED_URL=aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9uRURwV19wWkNYMA&HK=FFF847248DEA264400C7B44379F75351F223833B7143C5E3D5C846A5B2267114">https://youtu.be/nEDpW_pZCX0</a></b><br>
<br>
The initiative is open to students, researchers, and team labs
worldwide, and aims to foster the development and benchmarking of
solutions on real-world robotics scenarios.<br>
<br>
The challenge is organized around two major tracks: the <b>Reasoning-Action
Track</b> and the <b>World Model Track</b>, addressing key
problems in embodied AI.<br>
<br>
The competition is structured in two phases: an initial online
phase, open globally, followed by an on-site phase, with robot
finals taking place at ICRA on <b>June 1, 2026</b>.<br>
<br>
The application deadline is <b>April 20, 2026</b>.<br>
<br>
