Official Launch of the Beluga™ Airbus AI Competition

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Beluga™ AI Competition, brought to you by the TUPLES consortium in collaboration with Airbus!
The competition challenge is based on a logistic planning problem proposed by Airbus. It deals with the storage and management of cargo transported by the iconic Airbus Beluga XL aircraft Those bring aircraft parts that need to be pushed to – or pulled from – a rack system that works as a bidirectional multi queue system.
Participants will face a complex logistical problem: how to best manage components, racks, Beluga™ cargo, all in a complex temporal organization of arrivals and departures, taking into account the workers involved, possible delays due to weather conditions and much more.

Challenges
1. Scalability (Deterministic) – Ensure solutions scale efficiently.
2. Scalability (Probabilistic) – Account for variable scenarios.
3. Explainability – Develop transparent, understandable models.
