Wu Jiajun, an assistant professor at Stanford University, discussed building physical agents capable of reasoning and acting in the real world at IROS 2026. He highlighted the challenges robots face in understanding complex, dynamic environments, emphasizing the need for structured representations that go beyond simple visual recognition. Wu's research focuses on enabling robots to learn these representations and actions from data, moving towards agents that can infer task requirements and adapt to novel situations with minimal human intervention.
