# Welcome to ManipulationNet

For more details about ManipulationNet, please visit [manipulation-net.org](https://manipulation-net.org/). For any questions, please contact support@manipulation-net.org.



## Overview

**ManipulationNet delivers standardized task setups:**  Each task setup is defined by a physical object set and a task protocol that governs its use. ManipulationNet designs, fabricates, and distributes task setups to registered teams worldwide. Available tasks are listed [here](https://manipulation-net.org/index.html#tasks).

**ManipulationNet evaluates authentic task performance:** ManipulationNet decouples performance collection from result verification. Manipulation performance is collected decentrally via the **<u>mnet-client</u>** with time and location flexibility, while final verification occurs centrally by the organizing committee for comparable results.



This document introduces how to properly use the **<u>mnet-client</u>** to participate in each hosted benchmark task under ManipulationNet.



This document introduces the ROS 1 version of mnet-client; for the ROS 2 version, please refer to [here](https://mnet-client.readthedocs.io/ros_2/).
