AGIBOT has launched the World Challenge at ICRA 2026 with two flagship tracks—Reasoning to Action and World Model—and opened registration, backed by a record prize pool of $530,000.

Both tracks provide open datasets and baselines: ACoT-VLA as the Reasoning to Action baseline and EVAC as the World Model baseline, with open-source resources hosted on Hugging Face, ModelScope, and GitHub.

A curated Reasoning to Action dataset accompanies the challenge, featuring hundreds of complete manipulation trajectories and is open-sourced on Hugging Face and ModelScope.

World Model tasks train video-generation models on the AGIBOT WORLD dataset and are evaluated online with EWMBench, spanning environments like furniture, retail, and industrial settings using over 30,000 real trajectories.

Key milestones for the competition include global registration opening in February, servers going live shortly after, final submissions in April, online stage results at the end of April, and offline real-robot finals starting in June at ICRA 2026.

Competition servers for both tracks are live, with quick-start guides and submission portals delivering real-time leaderboard updates.

The event features a prize pool of $530,000 USD and marks a broader return to ICRA with an expanded vision.

Participants can join the World Challenge via the AGIBOT World Challenge website and related channels, with two tracks and a focus on embodied intelligence.

The World Challenge emphasizes two flagship tracks—Reasoning to Action and World Model—and highlights a substantial prize pool.

Participants are encouraged to join the AGIBOT community through Feishu and other official channels for updates, support, and collaboration, underscoring open datasets and open-source tools.

Reasoning to Action tasks cover a range of scenarios, including Continuous Sorting, Barcode Scanning, Logistics Sorting, Workpiece Inversion, Shelf Stocking, Door Opening, Desk Clearing, and Dual-Arm Pot Handling.

Evaluation tools include Genie Sim 3.0 for closed-loop validation and EWMBench for World Model evaluation, with a real-time online competition stage and leaderboard hosted on HuggingFace.
