ASTM International’s robotics committee (F45) is developing a proposed standard for measuring the task performance of manipulators and mobile manipulators under controlled optical-signal degradation.
The proposed method (WK100792) would measure the extent to which degradation in optical information affects a robot’s task performance.
According to ASTM International member Aarati Noronha, real-world conditions can degrade the optical information that this technology relies on, requiring it to compensate for the poorer input. [Read more…] about New ASTM standard aims to test how robots perform in the real world
