Hardware setup used for the leaderboard evaluation

geka · March 30, 2026, 2:00am

Hey!

I was wondering what kind of hardware setup is used for the leaderboard evaluation. Specifically, what NVIDIA drivers are running on the machines, and what type of GPU is being used?

I’d also like to know which CUDA version is supported and how much VRAM is available for our models.

# Getting Started

Welcome to the AI for Industry Challenge! Follow this guide to familiarize yourself with the toolkit structure, prepare  your environment, and confirm your setup by running a quickstart example before developing your solution.

> [!NOTE]
> **ROS 2 Distribution:** Official evaluation of all submissions will be conducted using **ROS 2 Kilted Kaiju**. If you choose to develop or test your policy using a different ROS 2 distribution (e.g., Humble or Jazzy), it is entirely your responsibility to ensure compatibility and support. Please note that **inter-distro communication is not guaranteed and not officially supported**. For those new to ROS 2, we strongly encourage completing the [official ROS 2 tutorials](https://docs.ros.org/en/kilted/Tutorials.html).

## Architecture Overview

The challenge uses a two-component architecture:

1. **Evaluation Component** (provided) - Runs the simulation, robot, sensors, and scoring system
2. **Participant Model** (you implement) - Your ROS 2 node that processes sensor data and commands the robot

**Source code for both components is available in this toolkit.** Since the Evaluation Component will not change during the competition, we publish a Docker image (`aic_eval`) for convenience that you can reuse—this is the **recommended workflow**. Advanced users who prefer to build from source can follow the [Building from Source](./build_eval.md) guide.

For a detailed explanation of the architecture, packages, and interfaces, see the [Toolkit Architecture](../README.md#toolkit-architecture) section in the README.
