CVPR 2026 Workshop on Multi-Agent Robotic Systems

Overview

This workshop brings together researchers across robotics, machine learning, and embodied AI to explore how multi-agent collaboration—grounded in physical embodiment and powered by foundation models—can enable scalable, generalizable, and trustworthy intelligence. It will emphasize robot–robot coordination, compositional intelligence, and distributed planning across heterogeneous agents. Through invited talks, paper sessions, and discussions, the workshop seeks to foster a focused community advancing the next generation of collaborative embodied systems.

The workshop will consist of a combination of invited talks and contributed papers, selected through a rigorous review process. We aim to bring together experts from academia and industry to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and discussion.

We also plan to provide financial support for students and junior researchers. The money will be used to provide best paper awards and registration support to minority groups and fund other workshop logistics.

Call For Papers

Our workshop is Non-Proceedings—a flexible, non-archival venue for sharing a broad range of contributions without restrictive publishing constraints, formatting requirements, or page limits. We warmly welcome full papers, works-in-progress, datasets, technical reports, and position papers.

Topics of interest include:

Robotic coordination using foundation model reasoning
Coordinating diverse embodiments and bridging simulation with real-world deployment
Scalable task decomposition and multi-agent collaboration
Hierarchical reasoning, decentralized control, and cerebrum–cerebellum paradigms
Scalable environments and datasets for multi-agent physical interactions
Robustness, trustworthiness, generalization, and collaboration efficiency
RL and imitation learning for multi-agent coordination
Human–agent communication and inter-agent alignment
Applications in embodied robotics, open-world exploration, assistive systems, medical robotics, and beyond

Submission guidelines

We follow the CVPR 2026 submission guidelines. The main paper is limited to 8 pages, with an additional N pages reserved for references. Please use CVPR style formatting.
