[robocup-worldwide] CFP: International Workshop on Benchmarking and Measuring Service Robots at ICIRA 2017

[凝决]

The Second International Workshop on Benchmarking and Measuring Service Robots（Call for Papers ）

The  aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to share  their research progress and ideas on the significance and challenges of  benchmarking and measuring service robots, and promote the research on  quantitative measurements for the performanceof autonomous service  robots. The first international workshop on benchmarking and measuring  service robots was successfully organized in Hefei on July 2015,  co-located with RoboCup 2015. The second workshop will be held jointly  with ICIRA 2017 (http://www.icira2017.org), in Wuhan, China on August 15-18, 2017. All  papers accepted to be presented at the conference as well as the  workshop are to be published in LNAI/LNCS series of Springer (indexed in  EI Engineering Index). The CFP for ICIRA 2017 can be found in: Call for paper

Apart  from the paper presentations, the workshop will also include several  keynote speeches from both academia and industry and extensive  discussions about the scientific issues of benchmarking and measuring  service robots.
Keynote Speakers


David Hsu, National University of Singapore, Singapore




Luca Iocchi, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy



Xiaogang Song, China Robot Industry Alliance, China


Objectives

Benchmarking  and measuring service robots has drawn increasing interest from  researchers and professionals in recent years. A common form of  benchmarking and measuring service robots is service robot competitions,  such as DARPA Robotic Challenge, RoboCup at Home, and RoCKIn. Although  these competitions try to decompose the task into parts to be  quantitatively evaluated, they still include subjective judging by  humans. Therefore, these competitions are not objective and accurate.

Specific  quantitative measurements on robot performance would enable to directly  and accurately identify the strengths and weaknesses of robot  technologies through scientific tests. We are therefore organizing the  second international workshop on benchmarking and measuring service  robots towards further understanding and proposing quantitative  measurements in robotics research. 

Topics


The related themes or topics of this workshop include but do not limit to:


Methodology of benchmarking and measuring service robots



Quantitative measurement in robotics research



Standard platforms and test-beds for service robots



Robotic techniques and applications based on motion-perception systems
