HOW WOULD YOU TEST ROBOT PERFORMANCE?
EUROBENCH is creating the first benchmarking framework for robotic testing in Europe, composed of two testing facilities and one benchmarking software. This survey wants to know how EUROBENCH can meet YOUR needs. Please dedicate 3 minutes to this. YOUR OPINION IS REALLY IMPORTANT to make EUROBENCH a concrete and useful tool to developers and users.

EUROBENCH will offer up to 60k€ to anyone interested in trying these testing tools, through the 2nd EUROBENCH Open Call (June 2020). Don't miss the opportunity to let us know your interest in participating!

2
3 (neutral / no opinion)
4
5 (definitely yes)
Provide one physical site (e.g. a facility) to assess the robot under all applicable conditions
Automatically score the performance of the robot
Suggest how to improve the performance of the robot (e.g. by identifying its critical points)
Compare the robot with respect to the available systems in the market/literature
Compare the robot with human performance
Provide guidelines for robot purchasing (e.g. indicate the most suitable robot for a specific user)
Provide guidelines to replicate tests in any laboratory setting
Provide a "certification mark" on the robot performance according to accepted standards
Help to adapt/customize the robot to a specific user/usage
Clear selection
