Dexterous manipulation is one of the hardest problems in robotics. Despite decades of research, robots still struggle with tasks that human hands perform effortlessly. Solving this challenge requires breakthroughs in multiple fields—mechanical design, motion planning, control, and machine learning. This workshop brings together experts across these disciplines to explore what’s missing and what’s next.
We invite researchers working on dexterous robotic manipulation, manipulator design, tactile sensing, visual perception, and human hand understanding from video. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in discussions, present posters, and give contributed talks. Panelists and speakers, drawn from these research communities, include leading experts from both academia and industry.

In this workshop, our goal is to bring together researchers from various fields of robotics, such as control, optimization, learning, planning, sensing, hardware, etc., who work on dexterous manipulation.
Each accepted short paper will be eligible for a poster presentation. Selected papers will also have the opportunity to give a short spotlight talk. Note: Both poster and spotlight presentations must be given in person.
We are particularly excited to offer a platform for showcasing real-world robotic systems. Even without a formal paper, we encourage submissions of videos demonstrating your robots in action. For those able to attend in person, there will be opportunities to showcase your robots live at the workshop! We encourage researchers to submit work in the following areas (the list is not exhaustive):
