Can humanoids assemble IKEA furniture?

Calling for competing teams at IROS 2026!

Co-organized by @UnitreeRobotics @BitRobotNetwork @LightwheelAI etc

Unitree@UnitreeRobotics

We’re excited to partner with BitRobot Network, Lightwheel AI, Singapore Institute of Technology and contributors like Jie Tan (Deepmind), Steve Xie (Lightwheel), Michael Cho (FrodoBots), etc. Looking forward to push the boundary of humanoid loco-manipulation in this Humanoid IKEA Assembly Challenge!

Let's see some build LEGO structures using the printed instructions that come with a set.

Also, assembling an electronics kit, say on old fashioned vacuum tube amplifier, requiring positioning resitors, capacitors, et cetera along with the vacuum tubes, cutting and stripping the wires, soldering, etc.

@UnitreeRobotics Humanoid robots tackling IKEA assembly: the ultimate test of both fine motor control and parsing poorly translated instructions.

@UnitreeRobotics humanoids are cool but i'd kill for a reliable bipedal roomba

@UnitreeRobotics It's fascinating to watch this robot. The way it replicates human movements is incredibly impressive. My respect 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

@UnitreeRobotics I thought we would be farther along with hand articulation.

@UnitreeRobotics Oh my, this would be a fun ego capture dataset.

Would love to get a dataset together and see if we can have a humanoid put one together faster and better.

Happy to support here

@UnitreeRobotics this is a better robotics eval than another clean walking clip. parts shift, contact lies, and recovery becomes the task.
