Bugs: If you find bugs, please open an Issue with a detailed explanation of the problem, or message @rezenders.

For the more interested participants, reproduce everything and suggest how to improve the training

• For this, it is strongly recommend to do so by opening issues and pull requests
• There are some issues already open. That is a good starting point

Activities to be done during hackathon:

Run bluerov agent

• Run the bluerov agent both in the real BlueROV2 and in Gazebo (Ignition)
• Complete the [potential_avoidance]((https://github.com/remaro-network/tudelft_hackathon/blob/ros2/scripts/potential_avoidance.py) code and run it both in the real BlueROV2 and Gazebo (Ignition). Issue #36.

Improve the system

Suggestions:

• Issues marked with hackathon_task label. You can find them in this project tab
• Better avoidance algorithm
• Adjust velocity parameters and sonar "field-of-view"
• More elaborated world
• Improve launch files
• Improve formatting
• Improve documentation
• Add tests
