Quantitative
Performance Evaluation of Navigation Solutions for Mobile Robots The development of adaptive and technically capable mobile robots that are able to safely operate in unstructured, dynamic environments is essential to the acceptance of robotic technologies, permitting collaborative operations of man and machine. Currently, there is no way to quantitatively measure the performance of these systems against userdefined requirements; and furthermore, there is no consensus on what objective evaluation procedures need to be followed to deduce the performance of these systems. The lack of reproducible and repeatable test methods have precluded researchers working towards a common goal from exchanging and communicating results, intercomparing robot performance, and leveraging previous work that could otherwise avoid duplication and expedite technology transfer from the "drawing board" to the field. The
primary focus of this workshop is to bring together what is currently
an amorphous research community to define standardized methods for the
quantitative evaluation of navigation solutions and robotgenerated
maps that will enable mobile robots to operate in dynamic unstructured
environments. This workshop will seek to develop test methods to classify
the performance characteristics of navigation solutions that facilitate
the intercomparison of experimental results. It will also attempt
to define a de facto standard testbed for evaluation of navigation solutions
that will provide a baseline for comparison and will provide the mechanisms
targeting specific aspects of the system, allowing researchers to assess
the performance of various systems in different scenarios and environmental
conditions. The workshop program consists of a featured presentation,
five regular presentations, and will conclude with a panel discussion
involving all participants to summarize presented research and to decide
future research directions and collaboration. More information on the
workshop is available from http://kaspar.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~rss/. Performance
