While recent advances in AI have significantly improved language and visual perception, progress in real-world embodied intelligence remains fundamentally constrained by our ability to model, align, and learn from multi-sensory physical interactions. Sense of Space is a full-day CVPR 2026 workshop that brings together researchers working across sensing hardware, data acquisition, representation learning, and embodied applications. To provide focus within this broad and critical space, the 2026 edition centers on emergent special sensory modalities, and dexterous hand-object manipulation. #robotics #ai #computervision
