Recent drone racing games show the agility of the drone flying through a zigzaging, narrow, confined racing circuit. An onboard camera and the head-mount display goggle provides pilots First Person View (FPV) and pilots show their amazing control techniques during the racing. In contrast, autonomous drone flight through such a daring environment at high speed still remains as a difficult challenge. Nonetheless, drones that can negotiate with complex surroundings can be not only as a sport but a killer app for future drone applications, where drones can fly through obstacles and search for survivors in a scene of accident and more. > > The IROS 2016 Autonomous Drone Racing in Mos Espa Daejeon Arena (Racing) is a technical challenge sponsored by Korea Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy aimed to provide worldwide robotic researchers a technology showroom for autonomous flight and to promote solutions for agile autonomous flight of drones in daring environments. Participants will bring their own flying robots in Mos Espa Daejeon Arena and be asked to fly them autonomously through designated tracks in the circuit. The technical challenges combine the time optimal path planning for drones, flight and tracking control, obstacle detection, localization, and fault detection and recovery. Two racing times will be recorded and scored by its best flight time through the start and the finish line. Depending on the number of participants, Racing will be divided into two divisions; one is the onboard computing (Division A) and the other is the remote computing (Division B). If the number of the participants small in Division A, divisions will be ignored and a scoring metric will be used to encourage onboard processing systems. See below for the details of Racing. > > Prospective participants must submit the registration form (Form A, available online) via email to sec@iros2016.org with the title of “Drone Racing Registration: Your team name.†Registered teams are eligible for travel grant if submitted the travel grant application form (Form B, available online) by 08/01/2016 to sec@iros2016.org with the title of “Drone Racing Travel Grant Application: Your team nameâ€. After evaluation of the application, $2000 will be granted to, at most, 10 teams from North and South America, and EU, $1000 to maximum 5 teams from Asia, and $500 to maximum 5 teams from Korea. Successfully registered teams must submit promotion materials to the organizers via email by 10/01/2016. > > Timeline: > Deadline for registration to Racing (registration form): 05/10/2016 > Division announcement: 05/15/2016 > Travel grant application due (grant application form): 08/01/2016 > Notification to travel grant recipients: 08/15/2016 > Racing promotion material submission: 10/01/2016 > Orientation: 10/10/2016 > Dry-run: 10/11/2016 > Main event: 10/12/2016 > Award luncheon: 10/13/2016 > Demonstration to public (top rankers, tentative): 10/14/2016 > (Detailed timeline is subject to change and will be posted on the web as well as informed by the registered email.) > > Description of Racing: > The Racing will be held in an indoor track, which contains five testing elements; high speed flight on a straight path, sharp turns, horizontal zig-zag path, spiral upward path, and a dynamic obstacle. The detail CAD file of the track will be available online at http://ris.skku.edu/home/iros2016racing.html . To facilitate the localization, some track gates will have QR codes (version 1: 21x21, printed size: 25cm x 25cm) on the boundary. The location of each QR code will be denoted in the CAD file. The map is subject to minor change during construction, and the participating team is highly recommended to detect the obstacle in situ, not blindly rely on the CAD drawing. Each team has two trials in the same track. In case of failures such as missing a gate, falling down, caught on the safety net, or other incidents, the team loses its turn and its time record will be recorded as ‘N/A’. The winner will be determined by the best time record. If the best time records are the same among multiple teams, the average time and the number of successful races will be used for the tiebreaker. > > Scoring metric for onboard computing: In case of a small number of participants to Division A, instead of dividing groups, all teams compete one another. However, teams with onboard computing system will have a time advantage to compensate the computing power limitation. The detail scoring system will be announced before the competition. > > Drone Technical Restriction: > The robot size is limited to be 1m x 1m x 1m with all of components fully extended. There is no type limitation of the drone; fixed wing, helicopter, quadrotor, or any type of flying robots that fit in the size limitation can be used. The drone is highly recommended to be electrically powered as the drone is operated indoor with limited ventilation. Any other propulsion/power source should be notified when registering and the competition committee will review the case to accept the team or not. Also, the competition committee reserves the right to allow the entrance of the competition based on the safety of the drone based on their construction, propulsion, operating conditions or more. > > The competition begins by placing the drone at the take-off point with onboard system turned on, but the propulsion system not running. Once the team declares “startâ€, the drone may not be intervened by the team members using a controller or a ground monitoring system until it completes the competition by landing at the designated point. In other words, the drone must be completely autonomous without any form of human intervention during the trial. The team may choose to take over the drone in case of emergency, but it will forfeit the trial. > > The team will be given in total of twenty minutes for one trial. The drone should be turned on and finish one trial by landing during this time. If the given time of twenty minutes passes, the team will be considered to spend one trial. > > The drone can be communicated with Wifi or any commercially available communication service, complying with Korean domestic law on the use of radiowave. The committee highly recommends the use of WiFi. GPS will be severely limited, if not completely unavailable, due to the indoor environment. > > The drone is allowed to have any types of sensors as long as they are considered safe to nearby spectators and complying with general regulations on consumer electronics. Sensors may include vision (visible/IR), laser, radar, ultrasound or more. However, these sensors should not make any physical contact or damage of the obstacles. > > Prizes: > The best teams will receive monetary prizes. All monetary prizes are conditional on eligible teams completing the race. Prize money will be announced later along with sponsoring organization(s). > > Organizers: > Hyungpil Moon, Sungkyunkwan University [hyungpil@me.skku.ac.kr ] > Hyunchul Shim, KAIST [hcshim@kaist.ac.kr ] -- Instituto de Sistemas e Robotica, Instituto Superior Tecnico - Torre Norte Av.
