Quantitative Assessment of Navigation Solutions
for Mobile Robots

Motivation:

The primary focus of this technical initiative is to bring together what is so far an amorphous research community to define standardized test methods that will enable researchers, vendors, and end-users to quantify the performance characteristics of navigation solutions and robot-generated maps for mobile robots; expediting technology transfer and fostering research and development of mobile robots that can operate safely in dynamic unstructured environments by:

  • Organizing Workshops and Robotic Events
  • Developing Reproducible and Repeatable Test Methods
  • Disseminating Reference Data Sets
  • Compiling Open-Source Library of Algorithms
  • Defining Standardized Evaluation Procedures
