TSC Chair election
Ryohsuke Mitsudome has been elected as the new TSC chair.
Working group report: Autonomy Software
Autoware.Auto 1.0 will be released this Friday. Discourse and blog post from Josh and SPC to follow. Many thanks to everyone who made this possible. Cargo ODD development starts next week. Many members interested in contributing - should have a large development team for cargo and racing.
Project Manager has accepted the position - starts on or near March 1st. Will take some time to ramp up.
F1TENTH going well - started new hardware platform selection process. Working with developers recruited by Kat (Open Robotics) to get software working.
IAC going OK but slower than hoped. Clemson is still working on a demo lap with Autoware. AutonomouStuff to provide bench setup of all sensors for Josh to help configure and test. ROS2 sensor drivers are still a problem. ADLINK provided 2x computers to AWF for SiL configuration.
Working group report: Operational Design Domain
The issues with scenario tools have all been solved and I’ve set the license term to the Gitlab repository to make it easier for the members to contribute as per advice from a member.
As some of the WG members do not seem to have enough time to finish the assigned scenarios, some of the scenarios have been reassigned to new members.
We might need a couple of more weeks to complete the machine readable scenario set. I’m doing some follow ups, and may consider further reassignment as per necessity.
Tier IV is in the final process of open sourcing of the scenario tools and aiming to complete it by next week.
The ODD WG wiki page on Gitlab is being updated with the information of the achievements so far, for new members’ convenience.
I started to join some of the AWF meetings for racing projects to understand the expectation to ODD WG.
Cargo ODD demonstration capability from Ziiko
ADLINK moves to work with Ziiko on a joint marketing and demonstration opportunity.
Linaro seconds.
Updates on Racing ODD
- Preparing survey to assess IAC students education & support needs in preparation for “Fundamentals of ROS 2 with Autoware” workshop(s)
- Josh, Joe, Kat Scott (Open Robotics), Dejan, SPC working on plan & actions for IAC university teams to adopt “ROS 2 with Autoware” and succeed.
- Will will expand AWF IAC todo list https://gitlab.com/autowarefoundation/autoware.auto/AutowareAuto/-/issues/638 per per Josh’s previously identified todos (slides 17-18) https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1xbpXUfHD7kxhXQ9MSaN2ocDxObnwnGX03xiiY3drn-4/edit?usp=sharing
