autodriveecosystem/autodrive_roboracer_sim repository overview

⁠RoboRacer Digital Twin Autonomous Sim-Racing League using AutoDRIVE Ecosystem

⁠Note:

⁠Pull AutoDRIVE Simulator Container:

docker pull autodriveecosystem/autodrive_roboracer_sim:<TAG>

⁠Run AutoDRIVE Simulator Container:

1. Enable display forwarding:

   xhost local:root
   

   Copy

2. Run the container at entrypoint:

   docker run --name autodrive_roboracer_sim --rm -it --entrypoint /bin/bash --network=host --ipc=host -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:rw --env DISPLAY --privileged --gpus all autodriveecosystem/autodrive_roboracer_sim:<TAG>
   

   Copy

3. Launch AutoDRIVE Simulator in graphics mode (camera rendering will be enabled):

   ./AutoDRIVE\ Simulator.x86_64
   

   Copy

4. Launch AutoDRIVE Simulator in no-graphics mode (all rendering including vehicle camera will be disabled) by passing the IP address of the machine running the devkit as AutoDRIVE CLI arguments:

   ./AutoDRIVE\ Simulator.x86_64 -batchmode -nographics -ip 127.0.0.1 -port 4567
   

   Copy

5. Launch AutoDRIVE Simulator in headless mode (all rendering except vehicle camera rendering will be disabled) by passing the IP address of the machine running the devkit as AutoDRIVE CLI arguments:

   xvfb-run ./AutoDRIVE\ Simulator.x86_64 -ip 127.0.0.1 -port 4567
   

   Copy

6. Start additional bash session(s) within the container (each in a new terminal window):

   docker exec -it autodrive_roboracer_sim bash
   

   Copy
