Overview
Garment manipulation is a fundamental yet highly challenging problem in the robotic manipulation area, involving complex, deformable objects and contact-rich interactions. The Lehome Challenge aims to establish a standardized benchmarking platform for evaluating robotic ability to understand and manipulate garments effectively, fostering innovation in policy learning, model reasoning, visual perception and representation for deformable object handling.
