Document Environment Design

[forhalle]

Document the environment design, including the terrain requirements (ground, number of tree rows, height of trees, fences, mountains, skybox, etc.), and lighting design.

Acceptance Criteria

• Design is reviewed and agreed upon with all parties (Robotec.ai, Open Robotics, AWS)
• GitHub issues are created for all required assets (Note: Some are already created - check GitHub)

Out of scope:
Apple tree design is a separate task

Linked Issues

• Successor Task: [Create Terrain #14]
• Successor Task: [Create the Skybox #18]

AWS (@shawstar) will provide the following assets:

• generic trees assets for around the apple orchard
• fencing
• small building

Got it! Lets go for it! :D

@SLeibrick very nice!

We could iterate over the scene. Not concerning the looks of it, a minimum to start using the scene for alongside development of robot and manipulator:

1. Ground with a surface (collider(s)) - driveable. We can start with flat surface (even though it looks like rough).
2. Any number of trees to start with.
3. Light and a reasonably configured camera (not a sensor) added to the scene..
   Note: this is only a general consideration for the scene creation process, not necessarily a part of this task.

@SLeibrick
Is there a reason for having 2 separate fields with rows of apples? I don't have an opinion about it at this point but I am curious why you went for it (the obvious choice would be just a single field).

[SLeibrick]

Mostly just visual appeal, but we can simplify from here.

Notes from today's meeting:

• All parties agreed to the design
• We will likely make minor tweaks as everything comes together
