ManiSkill-ViTac Challenge 2026

ManiSkill‑ViTac Challenge 2026 is a real‑robot challenge on bimanual manipulation with fused visual and tactile sensing in contact‑rich tasks. It builds on the ViTaMIn‑B visuo‑tactile interface, standardizing its hardware and data format into a common benchmark for learning and evaluating multi‑modal policies.

The 2026 edition focuses on three scenarios: environment‑driven visuo‑tactile manipulation, language‑guided visuo‑tactile‑language manipulation, and robot‑free visuo‑tactile data collection with unified real‑robot evaluation. Together, they target core capabilities in visuo‑tactile perception, bimanual coordination and language‑grounded policy learning toward robust, generalizable embodied agents for real‑world applications.
