LeHome: A Simulation Environment for Deformable Object Manipulation in Household Scenarios

Household environments present one of the most common, impactful yet challenging application domains for robotics. Within household scenarios, manipulating deformable objects is particularly difficult, both in simulation and real-world execution, due to varied categories and shapes, complex dynamics, and diverse material properties, as well as the lack of reliable deformable-object support in existing simulations. We introduce LeHome, a comprehensive simulation environment designed for deformable object manipulation in household scenarios. LeHome covers a wide spectrum of deformable objects, such as garments and food items, offering high-fidelity dynamics and realistic interactions that existing simulators struggle to simulate accurately. Moreover, LeHome supports multiple robotic embodiments and emphasizes low-cost robots as a core focus, enabling end-to-end evaluation of household tasks on resource-constrained hardware. By bridging the gap between realistic deformable object simulation and practical robotic platforms, LeHome provides a scalable testbed for advancing household robotics.

4th Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi): Challenge Overview

The 4th Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi) is organized as part of CVPR 2026. This edition features five benchmark challenges with emphasis on both predictive accuracy and embedded real-time feasibility. This report summarizes the MaCVi 2026 challenge setup, evaluation protocols, datasets, and benchmark tracks, and presents quantitative results, qualitative comparisons, and cross-challenge analyses of emerging method trends. We also include technical reports from top-performing teams to highlight practical design choices and lessons learned across the benchmark suite. Datasets, leaderboards, and challenge resources are available at https://macvi.org/workshop/cvpr26.
