2022-04-13 Simulation Working Group meeting

[WJaworskiRobotec]

General discussion:

• Tsutake-san and Sugwan prepared demo simulators for performance benchmarking
• Wojciech ran all simulators on the same computer to compare process of running and performance of the sensors
  • Performance results shared during the call and uploaded to the google drive : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1L8iRq4vGrRNYUGwb_CcBN9dimcNZFxaJ
  • More description, videos and rosbags will be prepared before TSC and shared on Discord
• Discussion about sharing simulators with AWF community
  • Tsutake-san will share the new application with the community
  • Sugwan will prepare demo application and also cloud version to share with the community
• Metric calculation nodes development
  • Robotec will take this task instead of ARM that was assigned previously
  • Tsutake-san asked about integration of nodes with SS2
    • It will be very useful to integrate with the scenario runner
    • Will be done as the next step after nodes are created
  • Co-chair discussion
    • Joseph Fernando (ARM) can no longer be a co-chair of the Simulation WG
    • Replacement will be discussed with TSC chair
  • Sugwan created new issue about about automated verification of compatibility of the simulators with Autoware
    • Define Test Procedures to check Simulator's Compatibility with Autoware autoware-projects#21
    • TierIV has some experience with integration, Tsutake-san might help with this task
    • Discussion about multiple Autoware versions : AWF Universe is currently official and the only version of Autoware that should be supported

Action Items

• Wojciech to finalize and upload all the materials comparing the simulators
• Wojciech to create final comparison presentation for TSC
• Robotec will start working on the issue : Metric calculation node development autoware-projects#11
• Sugwan to start working on the issue Define Test Procedures to check Simulator's Compatibility with Autoware autoware-projects#21
