I have served as Guest Editor and Senior Editor for special collections on robotic grasping and manipulation in Autonomous Robots and IEEE Robotics and Automation Practice (RA-P). I have organized 6 international workshops on benchmarking robotic grasping and manipulation at IROS, ICASSP, ICPR, and ICME, and 7 competitions including the Human-to-Robot Handover track of the Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Competition at ICRA 2024–2026 and the CORSMAL Challenge series.
