The 7th UK Robot Manipulation Workshop

The 7th UK Manipulation Workshop will bring together researchers from across the UK to share advancements and explore emerging challenges in robotic grasping and manipulation. We invite submissions of posters, talks, and demonstrations to showcase ongoing research, spark dialogue, and strengthen community connections.

 

Posters

Poster presenters will have the opportunity to introduce their work through a brief slide presentation, followed by an engaging Q&A poster session during coffee and lunch breaks.

 

Talks

For early-career and established researchers, academics, and industry professionals, we will make some talk selections using the same submission process. You can indicate your interest in giving a talk using the option in the form below. Please note that only a limited number of talk slots are available, and selections will be based on. the best fit with the programme.

 

Demonstrations

There will be some space available to set up robot demonstrations, which will run alongside the poster sessions. Please provide a title and short description of what you propose to demonstrate, and we will be in touch to sort out practical arrangements.
