Distributed Access to a Centralized Testing and Benchmarking Facility via the DESIRE Webportal
Abstract
In the last decades many robotic demonstrators were built, the vast majority of which are constrained to a limited set of operations, often focusing on the development of single robotic components like navigation, manipulation, human-machine interaction, etc. Benchmarking of these systems was for a long time only performed on the component level. These specialized robots thus are not intended and commonly also not flexible enough to solve complex tasks, in particular concerning dynamic and unstructured environments, requiring the combination of different components. More recently there have been efforts to create robots that are capable of performing various tasks in households or public domain and are dependable enough for everyday use (e.g. DESIRE). This requires the integration of many expert technologies from the different robotic domains and different developers that are located at different places. To enable real world benchmarks on such complex systems a concept of a webbased centralized benchmarking facility and an automated test and benchmarking methodology is proposed based on the DESIRE webportal in this paper.
