Introducing RoboMesh

What if a robot "demo" wasn't just a video to watch, but a real demonstration you could interact with and probe?

We are excited to introduce RoboMesh, a web-based platform that connects people to real robots through online interaction.

We are calling for users

For developers
Answer key failure-analysis and HRI questions with real interaction data.
For reviewers
Failed executions can be replayed, inspected, and exported, for transparency.
For labs
User commands, robot observations, system responses, and recovery behaviors can be collected as valuable data.

Want to host your own robot on RoboMesh? We welcome new demos on a rolling basis: submit a proposal.

About the Demo Track

We invite live, interactive demos showcasing human-centric mobile manipulation systems. All demos will be deployed and demonstrated through RoboMesh, a web-based platform that enables online interaction with robots.

Submitted demos should support real-time human-robot interaction via one or more of the following modalities:

  • Text or language-based commands
  • Voice interaction
  • Web-based gestures such as clicking, dragging, and pointing

Demos are expected to illustrate human-robot interaction, shared autonomy, human-aware planning, or human intervention and failure recovery in realistic mobile manipulation scenarios. For accepted demos, at least one author is required to attend RSS 2026 in person to host the demonstration.

We welcome contributions in areas including, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Human-Robot Interaction and Collaboration
  • Cognitive Architectures for Robots in Human Environments
  • Foundation Models for Mobile Manipulation
  • Safe Whole Body Motion Planning & Control
  • Planning Under Uncertainty and Risk
  • Shared Autonomy & Responsibility Allocation
  • Failure Prediction & Recovery
  • Socially Aware Navigation and Manipulation

Demo Submission Instructions

Live Demo Submission Instructions: If you are interested in submitting a live demo, please submit a one-page proposal and your demo video through the Google Form. The demo video should be less than 5 minutes.

We will send invitations to selected demos, granting access to our RoboMesh platform. After acceptance, demo presenters will integrate their demos into the RoboMesh platform.
