🤖🧗 Can humanoid robots climb walls?

This week in Bordeaux, 7 teams from Taiwan, Germany, Scotland and France will have three intense days of hackathon to find out. They'll need to perceive the wall, plan hand/foot-hold contacts, and coordinate whole-body motions to pull it off.

I'll be there giving a tutorial on contact planning, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the teams come up with!

Looking forward to CoRL 2026 in Austin (Nov 9–12)!

I'd be glad to connect and exchange ideas. Feel free to reach out if you're attending, especially if you work on learning representations or Koopman-based control.

I'll also be presenting recent work on learning representations for locomotion. More details soon, as I finish releasing the source code, dataset and models.
