MotivationRobots gain more capabilities every year, yet the use of planning methods to determine the overall behavior is still the exception rather than the norm. The second Planning and Execution Competition for Logistics Robots in Simulation is held in 2018 to foster mutual and closer cooperation between the planning and robotics communities. The domain is based on the RoboCup Logistics League in simulation. We propose this as a challenge to the planning and robotics community. The competition finals will be held at ICAPS 2018. Below you find the link to the rules of the competition, and the reference implementation provided as an image for a USB flash drive to boot into a ready-to-run system.
Results 2018The competition was run at ICAPS 2018. A total of 300 games (50 full iterations with three entries) was run for the round-robin phase. The best two teams (with the constraint of a maximum of one entry per school) were admitted to the finals. Participants

Finals ResultWinner: CaroSMT (139 points) Runner-Up: KCL (32 points) AAAI 2018We have held a tutorial at AAAI 2018 in New Orleans, LA, USA. It was organized in cooperation with members from NIST organizing the ARIAC competition. We have given general introductions to the competitions and hands-on sessions. Results 2017
ICAPS 2016The planned program was as follows:
For the Hands-on session, computers are necessary which the participants must bring. USB sticks will be provided for the time of the tutorial from which typical laptops (Apple hardware probably cannot be accommodated) can be boot to run the simulation and planning system. Bringing a mouse or similar device is advisable. There will be a live robot demonstration of a robot operating a single processing station during the tutorial.
