Post-CoRL 2026: What's Next for Robot Learning?

CoRL 2026 paper authors, fresh from Austin, on one stage with the frontier labs and VCs backing robot learning, the night after the conference ends.

Flagship panel

CoRL 2026 wraps in Austin on Nov 12. Less than 24 hours later, the conversation lands in San Francisco. We're bringing paper authors back from Austin and putting them in the same room as the people deciding which papers become companies.

Panel 1 brings CoRL 2026 authors from UC Berkeley and Stanford. Panel 2 goes inside the frontier labs building robot foundation models and world models. VCs investing in robotics and Physical AI will be in the room. Registration requires approval.
