RAMI (Robotics for Asset Maintenance and Inspection) is one of the four challenge-led robotic competitions of METRICS project (https://metricsproject.eu/). It is our pleasure to announce the first edition of METRICS RAMI competition for aerial robots, to be held at IROS 2021. This competition will take place fully virtually using data generated during previous RAMI campaigns. The competition is open to everyone all around the world and is led by CATEC (Advanced Center for Aerospace Technologies, Seville, Spain), one of the reference research centres in Europe devoted to aerial robotic technologies.

The competition will assess the following two autonomy-based inspection tasks: 1) precise autonomous navigation without Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), since I&M activities may take place in environments with poor GNSS coverage or even indoors, and 2) automatic detection of defects using advanced AI algorithms, which is important for inspectors when they face considerable amounts of data to review.
