RoCo Challenge@AAAI 2026

RoCo (Robotic Collaboration) explores human-in-the-loop robotic assembly in simulated manufacturing environments. RoCo 2026 centers on gearbox assembly tasks where human involvement is reflected through varied initial states, capturing realistic collaboration and recovery dynamics.

It includes three core scenarios: (1)Assembly from Scratch, starting from an empty workspace and completing the workflow jointly; (2)Resume from Partial State, continuing from a partially assembled configuration; (3)Error Detection and Recovery, identifying and correcting human-like faults before resuming operation.

RoCo advances research on adaptive collaboration, state understanding, and error-aware autonomy, offering a pathway toward more capable and resilient robotic systems in real-world production settings.
