SUMMARY:The 24th Roboracer Autonomous Grand Prix Competition
DESCRIPTION:2025 Theme: MAD-GAMES: Multi-Agent Dynamic Games \nRoboracer Autonomous Racing https://roboracer.ai/is an international competition organized by a community of researchers\, engineers\, and autonomous systems enthusiasts. Roboracer is used in over 89 universities for research\, teaching and participation in competitions. The teams\nparticipating in this Roboracer Grand Prix at ICRA 2025 will build a 1:10 scaled autonomous race car according to a reference specification. The teams write software for this scaled race car to fulfill the objectives for the competition: Don’t crash\, minimize lap time and overtake all opponents. This competition considers the challenging scenario of multi-agent (many-on-many) racing and aims to assess the state-of-the-art for perception\, planning and competitive control algorithms in real world scenarios\, inviting contributions from a broad spectrum of research directions spanning model-based classical planning and control to model-free reinforcement learning end-to-end agile navigation approaches. \nFollowing the success of the Roboracer Autonomous Racing competitions at ICRA’22 Philadelphia (100+ participants and 20 teams)\, and ICRA’23 London (130+ participants and 24 teams)\, ICRA’24 Japan (135+ participants\, 19 teams) for the ICRA 2025 competition we propose to set up the 24th Roboracer Autonomous Grand Prix in the form of both: (A) In-person hardware-based competition and a (B) virtual simulation-based race. These versions of the competition allow for accessible and equitable participation of teams worldwide.

SUMMARY:Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition
DESCRIPTION:The 10th Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition (RGMC) at ICRA 2025. 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 [1]. 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. RGMC will advance research and technology towards more realistic scenarios that can be encountered in daily activities at home or in warehouses\, and will increase the interest of the community in solving the open challenges associated with robotic grasping and manipulation.

SUMMARY:Quadruped Robot Challenges(QRC)
DESCRIPTION:Autonomy requires a good mobile platform\, perception technologies\, navigation technologies\, etc. Quadruped robots were never tested in a realistic common challenging environment in an autonomous way before ICRA 2023. Quadruped robots are inherently dynamic; thus\, their competition is interesting to the audience and public and may draw the attention of potential sponsors. \nQuadruped Robot Challenges (QRC) was inaugurated in ICRA 2023 to test teams for autonomous traversability on various kinds of terrains. At Stage 1\, each robot runs the test field alone\, solo start. Due to the short notice of the game\, many teams used remote control. Only two teams challenged in autonomy. In Stage 1+ which is about the mobility with inspection test at ICRA 2024 and IROS 2024\, we witnessed more teams use autonomy and an exploration mission is still difficult for autonomous robots. \nAs a next step\, ICRA 2025 QRC will move to Stage 2 where the multiple robot collaboration concept will be introduced. Teams may need to deal with more advanced tasks\, dynamic obstacles\, real-time perception\, and planning in this stage.
