2nd What Bimanuals Can Do (WBCD 2026) Competition

Overview
The WBCD Competition challenges teams to solve real-world manipulation tasks that represent actual industry needs with billion-dollar market potential. Unlike typical research benchmarks, our tasks are carefully designed by leading robotics companies to address genuine commercial applications in logistics, life sciences, and manufacturing.
Compete for a $200,000 total prize pool, with first-place winners receiving a competition robot worth $50,000-$60,000. Teams will use bimanual teleoperation systems to complete complex tasks requiring coordinated dual-arm manipulation—a critical capability for next-generation automation.
