Improving Open-Source and Benchmarking for Robot Manipulation

Home of the Collaborative Open-source Manipulation Performance Assessment for Robotics Enhancement (COMPARE) Ecosystem

The 10th Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition will be held at IEEE/RAS International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. There will be five competition tracks: Simulation-Sorting Manipulation Track, Manufacturing Trask, In-Hand Manipulation Track, Picking in Clutter Track, and Human-to-Robot Handover Track. The competition also provides UR5 and Franka Emika Panda robots if the teams are having difficulty bringing their own. Please visit the competition website for more information: https://sites.google.com/view/rgmc2025/home

This website is under construction! 

Help us build it! Use these Google forms to submit open-source products, benchmarking assets, and events or give us feedback on how it's organized by joining the COMPARE Slack workspace linked above!

The COMPARE ecosystem aims to create a greater cohesion between open-source products that improves the modularity of open-source components in the robot manipulation pipeline for more effective performance benchmarking. COMPARE seeks to unite the existing community of users and developers to build upon and integrate existing open-source products as well as improve and evolve the future of robot manipulation research. This is achieved through the generation of community-driven standards for components of software pipelines, benchmarking practices, objects, datasets, and hardware designs. 

To get involved, join the COMPARE Slack, participate in community discussions, attend events, and check out our continually evolving online resources!
