Rawseeds

Project RAWSEEDS has the aim of gathering and publishing on the web:

• 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 them including a description of the methodology to use when evaluating a solution for it;
• 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 criteria defined in the BP.

RAWSEEDS' BPs and BSs are mainly focused towards the problems of localization, mapping and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) in robotics. As a whole, they are called Rawseeds' Benchmarking Toolkit because they can be used to assess and compare algorithms. By the way, RAWSEEDS means Robotics Advancement through Web-publishing of Sensorial and Elaborated Extensive Data Sets.

You can learn more (and download everything that RAWSEEDS produced) from the official website of the project, here: http://www.rawseeds.org Through the website you can also upload your own Benchmark Solutions.
