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.

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 (Chinese templete) (English templete) before 23:59, 26 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.

The Sim2Real Test lasts from April 4, 2022, to May 15, 2022. During this stage, teams that pass the technical assessment will focus on addressing the challenging sim2real problems and transferring the policy from the simulator to real world.
This stage is divided into 4 parts:
· Detaction of exchange station
· Localization and Navigation of EP
· Grasp the cube
· Overall test
Teams should complete the above 4 tests sequentially. For example, teams can only enter the "Localization and Navigation of EP" test stage after passing the "Detection of exchange station" stage.
Teams can submit the code through the registration system and email. We will deploy each teams' submitted codes in the real-world environment, and provide feedback data and video respectively through the registration system or email.
Notice: The ranking will be based on the length of the finishing time. The shorter the finishing time, the higher the ranking.
During the competition, part of the universities where the teams were located were affected by the epidemic. Thanks to the perseverance and hard work of everyone, we overcame the difficulties together and completed the competition successfully. Since different regions were affected by the epidemic to different extents, and to encourage the students to defy the hardship and challenges during this particular period, the committee decided to add more second and third places to the original prizes.

Congratulations! Thank all of you for participating in this competition! We look forward to seeing you again next year.
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.
