The wokshop on benchmarking in humanoid robotics was held on November 29th., in Pittsburg (USA).
Benchmarking robotics research and systems is a difficult task. In the past, different competitions and benchmarks have been suggested, e.g. RoboCup Soccer, RoboCup Rescue, DARPA grand challenge etc. Recently, the attention of the robotics community has been increased to the definition of clear and reproducible evaluation performance metrics and benchmarking procedures in terms of methodology and test data sets, which are both representative for the different aspects of a specific robotic task and have the chance to be accepted by a wide community.
This workshop will provide a forum for researchers working in various areas pertaining to humanoid robots to interact and exchange ideas toward the definition of benchmarks in the core humanoid robotics areas.
