State-of-the-art Simulation in Autonomous Robotic Systems
IROS 2024 Khalifa University – Abu Dhabi, UAE
Abstract
This tutorial will provide a comprehensive introduction to Intrepid AI, an innovative platform designed to streamline the development of autonomous robotics applications. Participants will first explore the platform’s core features, including its integrated editor, simulator, and deployment mechanism, which collectively empower robotics designers to create sophisticated behaviors efficiently. Attendees will then delve into the platform’s simulation capabilities, learning how to visualize and validate their robotic designs in a virtual environment before real-world deployment. The tutorial will feature a hands-on session introducing the Intrepid graph, a user-friendly, low-code interface that simplifies the creation and modification of complex robotic behaviors, making advanced robotics accessible to both experts and non-experts. The session will culminate with the announcement of the Intrepid Challenge, an engaging competition that allows participants to apply their newfound skills in a collaborative and competitive setting. This tutorial promises to equip attendees with practical knowledge and skills, demonstrating how Intrepid AI can revolutionize the process of developing autonomous robotics solutions from conception to deployment.
