2023(Integration）Competition Overview

Theme

Automated systems used in factory automatic transfers are required to have both low vehicle cost and high task processing capacity.
Therefore, they must be able to operate safely under the constraints of limited computing resources and simple sensor configurations.
Therefore, the challenge is to achieve a good balance of safety, availability, and drivability within the constraints of limited computing resources and simple sensor configurations.
The challenge is therefore to achieve a good balance of safety, availability, and drivability within the constraints of limited computing resources and simple sensor configurations.

safety

In an environment where humans and robots work together, the robot must be able to prevent accidents when encountering workers who emerge from the shadows of equipment, detect leftover objects placed inadvertently in the passageway, and stop safely and reliably. The robot must be able to detect unintentionally placed objects in the passageway and stop safely and reliably.

availability

Automated systems used in factory automatic transfers are required to have both low vehicle cost and high task processing capacity. Therefore, they must be able to operate safely under the constraints of limited computing resources and simple sensor configurations. Therefore, the challenge is to achieve a good balance of safety, availability, and drivability within the constraints of limited computing resources and simple sensor configurations.

drivability

In the interior spaces of factories and warehouses, there are narrow paths that are just narrow enough for forklifts to pass through, or paths that run between equipment and shelves. In the interior spaces of factories and warehouses, there are narrow paths where forklifts can barely pass. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a function that can travel smoothly on complicated narrow paths. The need to develop a function that enables smooth travel on complex narrow paths is a major challenge.

Explanation of the competition

Outline

Participants will develop self-driving software based on "Autoware.Universe". Universe. The goal is to complete three theme-based tasks in a self-driving car integrated with the developed software, The goal is to complete the course in a short time. In the preliminary round, the self-driving car will be driven on the Digital Twin's self-driving simulator "AWSIM". In the final round, after tuning and developing the vehicle based on the data obtained from the actual vehicle, the contestants will compete on the same course as in the qualifying round. The contestants will then compete on the same course as in the qualifying round.
