  • Add gitlab repository (autoref_system) to MATLAB path.
  • Run MATLAB command ¨greenfield3D replay¨. (Ensure autoref_system directory is the current folder in MATLAB.)
  • In the new pop up window select 04_-Jul-2019_04_13_Hibikino.mat in folder 2019_Sydney.

Points to keep in mind

  • Simulator only works with Ubuntu 16.04.
  • The username for the system on which Ubuntu is installed should be ¨robocup¨, or else later issues will pop up. Please all use the computer name as ¨devpc1¨ for purpose of consistency.
  • While installing smartSVN, use the secure protocol i.e. https://robocup.wtb.tue.nl/svn/techunited, instead of http://robocup.wtb.tue.nl/svn/techunited when required. Else results in error.
  • In a terminal execute ¨sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev¨ before running make_all_install. Else MATLAB will give error relating to missing header file (libxml/tree.h).
  • Follow steps only till "make_all_install". After that run "build_sim_all".
