NeurIPS 2026 Workshop
RoboPAD: Post-Training Adaptation of Robot Foundation Models
Adaptation, reasoning, and evaluation for robot foundation models after pretraining.
About the Workshop
Pretrained robot foundation models are increasingly capable, yet real-world deployment still requires adaptation to new environments, embodiments, tasks, and failures. RoboPAD focuses on post-training: how to adapt, correct, evaluate, and safely improve these models after pretraining.
We bring together researchers in robot learning, reinforcement learning, foundation models, world models, and embodied AI to consolidate post-training as a shared research agenda.
