Rawseeds, or Robotics Advancement through Web-publishing of Sensorial and Elaborated Extensive Data Sets, has been funded by the European Union's 6th Framework Programme.
Rawseeds built and published a high-quality Benchmarking Toolkit to compare and assess algorithms for robotics. The Toolkit includes:
- high-quality data sets, obtained by exploring indoor and outdoor environments with suitably equipped mobile robots;
- problems (called Benchmark Problems or BPs) defined on the above datasets, each of which includes methodologies to evaluate the performance of any algorithm used to solve the problem;
- algorithms (called Benchmark Solutions or BSs) that solve the BPs, along with their output when applied to the associated problems and with the results of the evaluation of such output using the methodologies defined in the BP.
See the official website of the project for details and downloads. Through the website you can also upload your own Benchmark Solutions.
Rawseeds' BPs and BSs are mainly focused towards the problems of localization, mapping and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) in robotics.
The Benchmarking Toolkit has been completed, but work is ongoing (till 2011/04/30) for what concerns the administration of the website and the management of the community of users.
