Do you want to connect with the European AI research community? NeurIPS Europe is coming to Paris (Dec 9th-13th) and we are looking for sponsors to help to make it happen. Tiers from Bronze (10k€) to Platinum (60k€). neurips.cc/sponsors/prospect… @ELLISforEurope

NeurIPS 2026 currently requests propositions for workshops: neurips.cc/Conferences/2026/… In the same call, the European satellite venue in Paris also accepts workshops which will take place on December 12-13. DL: June 6h Notification: July 11th @ELLISforEurope

FAQ: NeurIPS Europe is an official NeurIPS 2026 satellite event taking place in Paris, France, alongside the main conf in Sydney and the other satellite event in Atlanta. NeurIPS authors can present their papers at any of the three locations, subject to space availability.

In my team we have two open positions on AI for robotics and in particular on manipulation, for junior and senior researchers. With us, connect fundamental research with real operational problems and contribute to emerging AI-driven robotics services. careers.werecruit.io/en/nave…

We want to speak directly to the concern many of you have expressed, and we owe you a clear explanation of what happened, why it happened, and where we stand now. We understand this situation caused genuine alarm and we take that seriously. In preparing the NeurIPS 2026 handbook, we included a link to a US government sanctions tool that covers a significantly broader set of restrictions than those NeurIPS is actually required to follow. This error was due to miscommunication between the NeurIPS Foundation and our legal team; there was never an intention to restrict participation beyond our mandatory compliance obligations. The responsibility for that error is ours as an organization, and we deeply apologize for the alarm and impact this miscommunication had on our community. We have updated the link and clarified the text of our policy, which is consistent with that of ACM and IEEE, as well as other international conferences and NeurIPS in the past. As in previous years, NeurIPS welcomes submissions from all compliant institutions and individuals. We want to reiterate that NeurIPS is a community-driven event, created by and for the community, and strives to be inclusive. The NeurIPS 2026 organizing committee was particularly saddened to learn of this institutional miscommunication. The organizing committee has taken on the responsibility of running the conference this year with the goal of fostering open communication, knowledge sharing, and global scientific discourse. We thank the community for bringing this issue to our attention and working with us through this situation.

NeurIPS Europe will be take place in Paris and will be an official event. This is great! Follow the account if you want more news on the event.

Last week’s #AI4Robotics workshop was fabulous & fabulously full😊 If you missed out we've good news - 📽️ All 15 talk recordings are now online 🚀! tinyurl.com/4ns5apvd Catch up on cutting-edge work in #robot perception, action & autonomy - from #SLAM & control to computer vision & large-scale learning!

The 4th #AI4RoboticsWorkshop is over! A big THANK YOU to all our fab speakers & participants for great presentations & conversations. Snapshot souvenir ⬇️ For those who missed out - recordings available soon! tinyurl.com/bdtk2nzs

Justin Carpentier on simulation, data, optimal control and RL, and on the fantastic Pinocchio simulator and optimization suite.

Nicolas Mansard: in locomotion / legged motion, when we worked on MPC (model predictive control) we were a team of 10 working on the robot and it barely worked. Now with RL (Reinforcement Learning) a single student can get a policy in 3 months, including training of the student.

Aniruddha Kembhavi presents Wayve's efforts on GAIA world models and their usage for not only deriving policies but also evaluation. They can even perform in-context learning, videos of applying failure cases to new initial conditions. AI 4 robotics workshop at @naverlabseurope

Eric Brachmann on the future of mapping ... or localization w/o explicit maps, and links to SfM. AI 4 Robotics Workshop at @naverlabseurope

Daniel Cremers presents the history of SLAM and his contributions, eg. the new VISTA SLAM (3DV 2026). AI 4 Robotics workshop at @naverlabseurope
