Online Activities in Tsukuba Challenge 2020

Abstract

This paper describes the online activities of Tsukuba Challenge 2020. Due to the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19 pandemic), the experiments where all teams gathered in Tsukuba were canceled. As an alternative, we proposed the following activities: navigation experiments at each team’s local site, provide and use of datasets, and use and development of simulators. In addition, to keep the community connections, an orientation meeting, lightning talks, and a symposium were held online.
