Abstract

This paper overviews Tsukuba Challenge 2019. The Tsukuba Challenge is an experiment for autonomous navigation of mobile robots on public walkways. Navigation tasks through pedestrian paths in the city are given. Participating teams develop their own robot hardware and software. We describe the aim of the task settings and the analysis of the experimental results for all the teams. We studied the records of real-world experiments of Tsukuba Challenge 2019.
