Description

The second Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition is sponsored by the IEEE-RAS TC on Robotic Hands, Grasping and Manipulation. The competition has received wide support from both academia and industry. This year, the competition has two tracks for two different scenarios: daily-living and manufacturing. The tasks in the competition will be randomly selected from a robotic grasping and manipulation task pool. Part of the task pool will be released on April 15, 2017.

Teams from academia and industry are equally welcome to participate. For registration, each team will need to provide a one-page description about the team, one-page PowerPoint, and a short video to demonstrate the team's capability of participating in the competition.
