BARN Challenge 2024 Simulation Results
The Benchmark Autonomous Robot Navigation (BARN) Challenge 2024 at ICRA brought together teams from around the world to test their navigation systems in highly constrained environments. Our LiCS-KI team achieved first place in the simulation competition with a score of 0.4762, earning us an invitation to compete in the physical finals.
Simulation Competition Results
The simulation competition evaluated navigation systems across 50 test environments using a standardized metric that considers success rate, traversal time, and environment difficulty. Here are the complete results:
| Ranking | Team | Score | Institution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | LiCS-KI | 0.4762 | Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology |
| 2 | AIMS | 0.4723 | The Hong Kong Polytechnic University |
| 3 | EIT-NUS | 0.3795 | Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo |
| 4 | MLDA_EEE | 0.2476 | Nanyang Technological University, Singapore |

About the Competition
The BARN Challenge tests autonomous navigation systems in highly constrained environments using a standardized Clearpath Jackal robot with 2D LiDAR. Teams must navigate from start to goal as quickly as possible without collisions across 300 pre-generated environments of varying difficulty.
