vivo Robotics Team Wins ICRA 2026 AGIBOT World Challenge Reasoning to Action Track

vivo’s PrismBot robotics team secured first place in the Reasoning to Action Track at the ICRA 2026 AGIBOT World Challenge, held in Vienna as part of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation. The competition, one of the most rigorous in embodied intelligence, tested robots’ ability to translate task understanding into physical execution in complex real-world scenarios. vivo’s team outperformed 526 competitors from 27 countries, excelling in task completion rates, long-horizon stability, and generalization across dynamic environments. The competition emphasized real-robot testing alongside simulations, requiring models to independently decompose tasks, sequence sub-goals, and recover from exceptions while executing actions through robotic arms. vivo’s solution leveraged a training framework combining keyframe optimization and contrastive learning, improving action precision and bridging the gap between text-based instructions and physical movements. In addition to the primary win, vivo ranked in the top three for the Whole Body Control Track, where robots autonomously picked and placed products in a simulated supermarket. The team applied the same reasoning-to-action approach, using keyframe loss weighting to enhance grasping accuracy and contrastive learning to refine object identification and placement. vivo’s achievements reflect its broader strategy to integrate imaging technologies with AI-powered robotics, aiming to deploy intelligent systems in real-world applications. Hu Baishan, President and COO of vivo and President of vivo Central Research Institute, previously highlighted this focus at the Boao Forum for Asia 2026, emphasizing the company’s commitment to embodied intelligence and cross-domain technical transferability.
