RoboMaster University Sim2Real Challenge

Introduction

The RoboMaster is a platform for robotic competitions and academic exchange founded by Da-Jiang Innovations (DJI), designed specifically for global technology enthusiasts. Since its establishment in 2013, RoboMaster has been committed to its mission – "empowering young learners to transform their world with the power of engineering and technology" , in order to attract bright engineering talents with interdisciplinary abilities and showcase the possibilities of technological innovation to audiences around the globe.

Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR), Tsinghua University, focuses on applied research geared towards the internationalization, intelligentization, and industrialization of the fourth technological revolution. Driven by academia-industry innovations simultaneously, AIR aims at making breakthroughs in core AI technologies, training future industry-leaders, and achieving industrial leapfrog progress. AIR was founded in 2020 by Dr. Ya-Qin Zhang, world-class scientist and entrepreneur in multi-media and AI.

Co-organized by AIR, Tsinghua University and DJI, the RoboMaster University Sim2Real Challenge at ICRA 2022 aims to optimize the system performance of a real-world robotic task which consists of perception, navigation and manipulation. Participants can conduct unrestrained experiments in the simulator, and can not directly access the real-world robot. Correspondingly, organizers will receive submissions from participants and complete the real-world deployment and the system validation at restrained time periods.

Simulator Test

The Simulator Test lasts from March 1 to March 30. During this stage, teams will focus on developing algorithms in a simulated environment and completing the challenge mission according to the instruction from github or gitee.

All teams will be required to submit a technical report (templete) before 23:59, 22 Mar, 2022 (GMT+8). Finalists (which teams can pass the technical assessment stage) will be qualified based on the score in two parts:

30% Technical Report score + 70% Simulator Test score

If you encounter any problems in the simulator test phase, you can submit the problems to the issue on github and gitee, find answers in the FAQ List (English) or FAQ List (Chinese) (update everay monday), or contact us via the email: robomaster@air.tsinghua.edu.cn.

Rules Overview

RMUS at its core allows participants to win points by coding remotely for a modified RoboMaster EP to run automatically in an official game field. Each game lasts for five minutes, where robots rearrange minerals based on the information shown on the exchange tags to earn points. Participants will be ranked by their total points won.
