Using the Real Robots

To use the real robots, you can submit jobs to our robot cluster. These jobs are automatically executed on a free robot. During the run, all actions and observations are logged and stored to files. Once the job has finished, you can download these files to evaluate the run on your side before submitting the next job.

Quick Start Guide

1. Install Singularity

2. Download the Real Robot Challenge Image

3. Create a package with your code: Structure of the User Code Package

4. Test locally in simulation: How to Locally Run Your Code in Simulation

5. Submit it to the robot: Job Submission System

6. Analyse the recorded data: Robot/Camera Data Files
