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 Interface Design
  • Human-Aware Whole Body Motion Planning & Control
  • Foundation Models for Mobile Manipulation
  • Uncertainty and Risk-Aware Decision Making
  • Shared Autonomy & Responsibility Allocation
  • Failure Prediction & Recovery
  • Benchmarks & Evaluation for Human-Centered Manipulation
