COMPARE Ecosystem Digest, September 7 - September 20, 2025

Here’s what you may have missed last week and what’s coming up soon!
New grasp datasets added to robot-manipulation.org, repository organization, and enhanced search functionality, with CoRL and Humanoids later this month!

🤖 General updates to robot-manipulation.org:

• Repository organization: All repositories have been updated so that new entries are marked with a robot icon 🤖 and appear at the top so they are easier to find!

• Enhanced search: Click the magnifying glass in the top right, type in a search term, and select "Embedded files" to search across all repositories!

🤖 Latest additions to robot-manipulation.org:

• Benchmarking Assets: 

• Datasets: Grasp Datasets: 7 new entries (59 total); see the repository for more details
• 🤖 3DAP Dataset [language-driven grasp detection / functional grasp detection, point cloud input, two-finger end-effector] 
• 🤖 BODex [grasp detection, 3D object model mesh input, Shadow Hand]
• 🤖 Dexonomy [grasp detection, 3D object model mesh, Shadow Hand]
• 🤖 Language and Vision Augmented TaskGrasp (LaViA-TaskGrasp) [task-oriented grasp, point cloud and instruction input, two-finger end-effector]
• 🤖 Language Augmented TaskGrasp (LA-TaskGrasp) [task-oriented grasp, point cloud and instruction input, two-finger end-effector]
• 🤖 QDGset [grasp detection, point cloud input, two-finger end-effector]
• 🤖 RealDex [grasp detection, RGBD image and point cloud input, Shadow Hand]

• Updates to Grasp Planners, Learning Environments, Simulators, Hardware Designs, Manipulation Datasets, Leaderboards and more are on the way!
