This is a fork of ARIAC 2021 competition for our Smart Manufacturing research in Reliable Autonomy research Lab.
The main differences between this fork and the original competition are the following:
- Support ROS Noetic with Gazebo 11 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. TODO Compilation instructions for ROS Noetic with Gazebo 11.
- Remove dependencies on
ariac-gazebo_ros_pkgsand usegazeo_ros_pkgsfor ROS Noetic. This removes several restrictions enforced by the competition that avoids querying and controlling the internal state of Gazebo. - Start simulation environment in developer mode by default.
-
This year, the theme revolves around the pandemic.
- Competitors will be tasked to manipulate products used in the assembly of ventilators.
- Kitting (or kit building) and assembly are the two tasks involved in ARIAC 2021.
