What needs to change?

Capability: Using perceptive sensors (cameras, LiDAR, etc.), system should be capable of identifying, characterizing and localizing RobotX objects including buoys, totems, placards and docks. Perception should be robust with respect to vehicle motion (heave, pitch and roll) and environmental conditions (lighting, camera noise, etc.). Implementation: This task is made up of multiple runs, each under different environmental conditions. A single run is made up of multiple trials, where each trial consists of spawning one or more objects within the field of view of the USV and then removing the objects for that trial. Objects that may be presented for identification and localization are listed in Table 4, below. The trial time is the elapsed time between the appearance and disappearance of an object. For an identification/localization answer to be scored, the message must be received during the trial time for that object. In competition, the trial time for all trials will be fixed at five seconds.

How would this task be tested?

1. Run the VRX trial software focusing on task 3, and ensure that objects are correctly characterized and localized.
