Deployment cases and panel discussion
The afternoon session combines the panel and the community discussion into a single case-based session. Each panelist briefly presents a real-world case of continual robot learning, including its practical constraints, failures, and lessons learned. Two organizer-moderated rounds then open the discussion to the audience, organized around the workshop’s shared research questions.
The session ends with a group synthesis of the main challenges, open questions, and evaluation priorities. This synthesis will inform a research agenda that the organizers will publish after the workshop.
