RGMC has been running for nine editions at either the IEEE/RAS International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) or the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), since 2016. Across the editions, we engaged the community with various tasks for manufacturing, service robots, and logistics. These tasks include assembling and disassembling boards, hand-in-hand grasping, picking and placing various objects, pouring liquids into a cup, bin picking, rearranging and setting formal tables, folding and unfolding cloths, and receiving objects handed over by a person. Along with RGMC editions, we also organized two workshops to discuss the trends, challenges and future directions of Robotic Grasping and Manipulation, focusing on benchmarks, datasets, and competitions.
