The fmrbenchmark repository is part of a project to develop benchmark problems for research in so-called formal methods for robotics. This effort is stimulated by competitions, and the main website is https://fmrchallenge.org

Topical README files are provided in some directories. For example, domains/dubins_traffic/README.md. In the documentation, $FMRBENCHMARK represents an absolute path to your copy of the fmrbenchmark repository.

Summary of organization

• doc/ : Documentation sources, including benchmark APIs, the User's Guide, and competition rules.

• domains/ : Problem domains, e.g., domains/integrator_chains/ contains code for the scaling chains of integrators setting.

• tools/fmrb-pkg/ : Python package providing code for both common and domain-specific needs.

• examples/ : contains example controllers and other demonstrations. An introduction to the examples is given below.

• remote/ : scripts, configurations, etc. for running some or all of the benchmarks and supporting infrastructure remotely.

Documentation

The directory doc/ contains sources for several components of documentation.

• doc/norm/ : Normative problem domain descriptions and competition rules. Building requires LaTeX. Releases are available at https://fmrchallenge.org/norm

• doc/api/ : API manual. Building requires Doxygen. Releases are available at http://api.fmrchallenge.org

• doc/usersguide/ : User's Guide. Building requires Sphinx. Releases are available at http://docs.fmrchallenge.org

If the appropriate tools are installed, as noted above, then go to the desired directory and run make.

Examples

There is a ROS meta-package for each problem domain that has name of the form DOMDIR_examples, where the "DOMDIR" is the name of the directory under domains/ dedicated to that problem domain (benchmark).

Contributing

There are many ways to contribute. Below is a summary. There is also a more detailed page in the User's Guide. All participation should follow our code of conduct.

• Join our mailing list, [email protected]

• Find unassigned tasks or recommend solution methods in the issue tracker.

Outside contributions should be submitted according to the fork-and-pull-request workflow to facilitate a public record of review and discussion. When doing so is not appropriate or not easily possible, other media are welcome, e.g., sending patches via email.
