The UK Robot Manipulation Workshop has been held regularly since 2016, with previous events hosted at the University of Birmingham (2016), Imperial College London (2017), the University of Leeds (2019), and—following a pause during the pandemic—at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory (2023), the University of Oxford (2024), and King’s College London (2025). The 2025 workshop gathered approximately 350 members of the UK’s robot manipulation community from academia and industry for two days of research talks, tutorials, poster sessions, lab tours, and networking.

The 7th UK Robot Manipulation Workshop will take place on 6–7 January 2026 at the University of Edinburgh, marking the event’s first time in Scotland. The organizers look forward to welcoming participants to this exciting gathering. Register Here.
