1 Benchmarks and Good Experimental Methods in Robotics Research Angel P. del Pobil Universitat Jaume I, Spain RSS 08 Workshop Zürich June 28,
2 Research Benchmarks: Goals a) Consolidate currents efforts in benchmarking b) Dissemination of existing benchmarks efforts in the community through discussions coordinated with international events, integrating experts in workshops and studies, and through the website c) Focus on disseminating good experimental methodology together with benchmarking d) Increase awareness by organizing and participating in meetings, discussions, workshops,... on benchmarking, performance metrics and good experimental practice 2
3 Research Benchmarks: Work Redesigned and up-to-date website of existing on-going benchmarking initiatives and other relevant efforts Promote good experimental practice through discussions, workshops and guidelines -as suggested by reviewers Many workshops, discussions and meetings Five international workshops organized: 1. IROS'07 Workshop on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking for Intelligent Robots, November EURON'08 Workshop on Good Experimental Methodology and Benchmarking in Robotics, Prague, March with EUROS Workshop on Good Experimental Methodology & Benchmarks in Cognitive Robotics, Karlsruhe, April with CogSys RSS'08 Workshop on Experimental Methodology and Benchmarking in Robotics Research, Zürich, June IROS'08 Workshop on Performance Evaluation and Benchmarking for Intelligent Robots, Nice, September 2008 (accepted) 3
4 Redesigned website New version of up-to-date exhaustive, detailed repository of current existing efforts in comparative research: competitions, benchmarks, conferences, data sets, etc. Result of a long process of information gathering, from different sources or provided by a number of persons. This information was previously unavailable, scattered in different sources and merged with uninteresting issues. Available as a 242-page document (Deliverable DR 2.7) -with IROS 07 Proc. Also at completely redesigned website: Number 1 in a search in Google for -robot & benchmarks- out of 426K hits 4
