A Peking University delegation led by Ning Qi, vice chair of PKU Council, visited Spain and Switzerland from September 23 to 29, strengthening ties with partner universities and international organizations. The delegation visited the Autonomous University of Madrid and the University of Granada, where discussions focused on student and faculty exchanges, language education, and academic collaboration in areas including international law, international relations, literature and cultural studies. In Geneva, the delegation visited the World Trade Organization, exchanging views on the multilateral trading system, global economic governance, and opportunities for students to engage with international organizations.

CoRL 2026 Oral 🌟 A team led by Peking University introduced OpenDexGrasp. It takes free-form language instructions, multi-view images, and 3D point clouds as input. Then it directly generates a dexterous five-finger grasp pose. For example, grip a hammer by its handle, not its head. To train the model, the team built OpenDexVerse: • OpenDex-Scale: 1.24M automatically generated grasp samples. • OpenDex-Align: 27.42K human-teleoperated and transferred grasp samples. The results: In simulation: 62.96% functional grasp success on unseen object categories. The DexGraspNet 2.0 baseline scored 43.22%. On a real robot, it achieved a 72% success rate across 10 everyday objects, including brushes, shampoo bottles, umbrellas, and pitchers. The baseline scored 59%. It's also faster. Traditional methods predict the graspable area first, then optimize the hand pose. OpenDexGrasp generates the grasp pose directly. Traditional pipeline: 2.84 s OpenDexGrasp: 0.93 s 67% less inference time. It's not perfect, though. Thin or complex objects like keyboards, frisbees, and flower pots can still cause problems, including finger penetration and inaccurate grasp placement.

Recently, Peking University and Belarusian State University co-hosted the “Day of Unity and Friendship” series in Beijing. Beyond the conference rooms and classrooms, students from both universities connected through academic exchanges, campus visits, cultural activities and a women’s basketball friendly match. From sharing ideas to making new friends, the series offered young people a chance to experience each other’s cultures and build lasting connections.
