Expo and Workshops

Expo Talk: Strands robots: Unifying robot control, simulation, and training behind natural language
July 6, 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM KST
Room: Hall B2
Speakers: Cagatay Cali, Yin Song

Abstract: Despite rapid advances in vision-language-action (VLA) models, deploying robot intelligence remains fragmented: different SDKs for different robots, different policy frameworks with incompatible interfaces, an unbridged simulation-to-reality gap, and training pipelines that demand specialist expertise . We present Strands Robots, an open-source Python SDK that unifies the complete robot lifecycle - simulation, control, training, and deployment - behind natural language. Our central contribution is a Policy abstraction layer with a plugin registry supporting VLA/WFM providers under a single three-method interface, enabling zero-code-change transfer between simulation and real hardware. We scale this abstraction across three axes: robot diversity ( 40+ bundled models from MuJoCo Menagerie spanning arms, humanoids, quadrupeds, and dexterous hands), simulation fidelity (three backends: MuJoCo CPU, Newton GPU-differentiable with 4,096+ parallel environments, and Isaac Sim with RTX rendering), and policy ecosystem breadth (from 42M-parameter ONNX humanoid controllers at 135 Hz to 14B-parameter world action models). Built on the Strands Agents framework, every capability is exposed as a tool callable via natural language, enabling AI agents to autonomously design scenes, run experiments, collect data, train policies, and deploy hardware. We demonstrate that this unified approach achieves practical results: GEAR-SONIC humanoid whole-body control on Jetson AGX Thor, and seamless integration with NVIDIA's GR00T N1. 7 , Cosmos 3 . Strands Robots   establishes a practical foundation for autonomous robot development where the barrier between idea and physical action is a single line of Python.
Expo Workshop: From digital agents to physical intelligence: The agentic harness as a unifying architectural pattern
July 6, 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM KST
Room: Hall C
Speakers: Diana Alvarado, Orange Gao, Xiaogang Wang, Minsoo Khang, Jaekyung Cho, Tatsuo Azeyanagi, Sanggyu Biern, Jie Zhao, Julija Bainiaksina

Abstract: You've built prompts. You've engineered context windows. But when your agent hallucinates in production, drops tools mid-task, or spirals in a loop—that's not a model problem. That's a harness problem.

In this workshop, we explore harness engineering in -depth: the discipline of building the runtime infrastructure that wraps a foundation model and turns it into a reliable, production-grade agent and how the same pattern translates to physical AI.

What we'll cover:

1. What a harness refers to. We trace where the term comes from, how the industry interprets it today, and why it's the layer that actually determines whether your agent works.
2. The Components & Why They Matter. We break down the six core components (context management, tool registry, verification loops, state & memory, safety controls, and observability) and show why getting these right matters more than picking the "best" model.
3. White boarding the Harness and production patterns .We map out real industry patterns(master loop, initializer-worker, handoff mesh, workflow graphs) grounded in real customer case studies.
4. The Harness Effect experiment. What happens when we hold the model fixed and change only the harness?,We'll go over this experiment and its results and will show how the execution layer alone can influence an agent's outcome, you also get to try it out
5. Physical AI: The Harness Goes Embodied. We'll cover how a robot's control loop (observe→encode → decide → act → repeat) uses the same harness pattern. We break this down into the core pillars of physical intelligence with real projects cases:
- Perception & Sequential Data: Handling multi-modal sensory inputs and managing continuous time-series state
- Robotics Foundation Model: Operating the central model to drive physical decision-making under real-world constraints.
- Simulation & Performance Evaluation: Establishing safe, rigorous testing environments to isolate and benchmark execution.

Come see what it takes to build an agent that actually works, then watch the same pattern navigate the physical world.
ICML 2026 The 6th Muslims in ML (MusIML) Workshop
July 9
Link: https://www.musiml.org/events/2026-ICML/index.html

The 6th Muslims in ML (MusIML) Workshop continues its tradition of success at top-tier conferences, providing a vibrant academic and social platform for the global Muslim community in machine learning. This workshop directly responds to ICML's call for Affinity Groups, focusing on the intersection of machine learning, fairness, and the global Muslim community to explore its unique challenges and opportunities. Our core objective is to foster high-quality original research, promote ethical AI solutions tailored to diverse cultural, linguistic, and economic contexts, and create an inclusive and safe academic space for Muslim researchers.

The MusIML community has an extensive track record of organizing successful events at premier conferences. Since 2020, we have organized 10 official events, including 5 workshops and 5 social and mentoring events. Our workshops have become a staple affinity event at both NeurIPS and ICML. The community has shown consistent growth, from approximately 100 attendees at our inaugural workshop at NeurIPS 2020 to accepting 60 papers with 300+ attendees at NeurIPS 2025, demonstrating our expanding influence and the increasing engagement of our community.
The 6th Muslims in ML workshop will be held in July 9, 2026, co-located with ICML 2026, at Room S300, COEX, Seoul, South Korea.
ICML 2026 Workshop on Generative and Agentic AI for Biology
July 10
Website: https://genbio-workshop.github.io/2026/

This workshop brings together leading researchers from machine learning, computational biology, and industry to explore both fronts — from the latest generative models for proteins, RNAs, and cells, to the emerging role of AI agents in experimental design and biological discovery.
ICML 2026 Workshop on Scalable Learning and Optimization for Efficient Multimodal AI Agents (SCALE)
July 10
Location: Seoul, South Korea

Link: https://scale-icml-2026.github.io/

Agentic systems are increasingly central to high-stakes computing platforms such as AI PCs, robotics, autonomous web interaction, and software maintenance, with their performance largely determined by how effectively they manage memory and context. Enabled by multimodal foundation models, these agents can coordinate human-like reasoning through structured agentic workflows, unlocking powerful capabilities across software development, web and mobile operations, and embodied manipulation. This progress points to the broad potential of multi-agent, multimodal systems to tackle complex real-world challenges. However, realizing this potential at scale remains difficult due to fundamental limits in algorithmic reasoning, memory-driven context understanding, the need for effective test-time training and scaling, and the challenge of deploying agents efficiently across heterogeneous AI hardware where different components must run on distinct compute fabrics.
ICML 2026 Workshop on Statistical Frameworks for Uncertainty in Agentic Systems
July 11
Website: https://agentic-uncertainty-icml2026.github.io/

Modern agentic pipelines are hierarchical compositions of models, tools, and subagents. This workshop studies how rigorous guarantees can support reliable routing, monitoring, stopping, and uncertainty reporting in such systems.
ICML 2026 Workshop on Weight-Space Symmetries
July 11
Link: https://www.weightsymmetry.com/
Location: Seoul, South Korea

Neural network weight spaces have a rich geometric structure, shaped by symmetries inherent to the architecture. Even the simplest MLP exhibits neuron permutation symmetries, meaning that swapping any two neurons in a layer along with their weights does not change the network function. Modern architectures introduce many more: attention mechanisms add continuous rotation symmetries, nonlinearities and normalization layers create scaling symmetries, and multi-head and mixture of experts architectures introduce permutation symmetries over heads and experts. Altogether, these symmetries shape the loss landscape and training dynamics as well as play an important role in model analysis, merging, and learning from model weights.

This workshop aims to deepen the fundamental understanding of weight-space symmetries and their effects, and to translate these insights into practical and scalable methods with diverse applications.
ICML 2025 Workshop on Foundation Models for Structured Data
July 11
Link: https://icml-structured-fm-workshop.github.io/

Structured data (tabular and time-series) underpins high-impact applications across finance, healthcare, enterprise decision-making, and climate modeling. Over the past two years, predictive foundation models tailored to structured data have emerged, enabling in-context learning and transfer across heterogeneous datasets and schemas, challenging the traditional “train per dataset” paradigm. Tabular and time-series foundation models share methodological similarities: pretraining on heterogeneous datasets, in-context learning, and transfer under schema and distribution shift. These similarities create natural synergies across the respective communities.

Building on the inaugural Foundation Models for Structured Data workshop at ICML 2025 (99 submissions; 500+ participants), FMSD @ ICML 2026 will unify the tabular and time-series communities around shared challenges in data curation, scaling, evaluation (including contamination), and real-world deployment (latency, memory, monitoring).
ICML 2026 Workshop on Connecting Low-Rank Representations in AI
July 11
Link: https://grigoris.ece.wisc.edu/workshops/colorai-icml-2026/

Location: Seoul, South Korea

At the heart of modern machine learning and artificial intelligence lies a simple observation: the data and computations we care about are almost never as complex as they first appear. A high-dimensional matrix rarely needs all its dimensions — it is low-rank, meaning a compact product of smaller matrices can faithfully represent it. This idea is extended to multi-dimensional arrays — tensors.

CoLorAI 2026 is designed to bring the communities advancing these ideas together. Building on our inaugural CoLorAI edition at AAAI 2025, this is the first workshop at ICML to bring all these communities to a single stage in Seoul, fostering the cross-pollination that drives breakthroughs.
ICML 2026 Workshop on Resource-Adaptive Foundation Model Inference (AdaptFM)
July 11
Link: https://adaptfm.gitlab.io/
Location: Seoul, South Korea

Foundation models (FMs) have achieved remarkable capabilities across language, vision, and multimodal tasks. However, their inference typically follows a rigid, one-size-fits-all paradigm where every input, regardless of complexity, passes through the same fixed architecture with identical computational cost. This inflexibility creates a fundamental mismatch between the diverse resource budgets encountered in real-world deployments and the static nature of model inference.

Adaptation can take many forms: compressing models to meet deployment budgets, designing flexible architectures that support multiple configurations from a single trained model, or making dynamic runtime decisions based on input complexity or resource availability. The central question we explore is: How can foundation model inference flexibly adapt to any resource budget, whether constrained by memory, compute, latency, energy, or cost, while maximizing output quality?
