Exploring Our Focus
As Robotics continues to rise and be recognized as a "Science", there is a growing necessity to emphasize the reproducibility of experiments, a feature that's currently challenging or sometimes entirely lacking. Benchmarks, offering a qualitative means for interpreting performance, are essential for evaluating the effectiveness of an approach against a standard basis.
Our primary objective is to amplify the awareness within the robotics community about the paramount importance of creating research that is both reproducible and measurable. By doing so, we strive to assist the transition of robotics research to a rigorous science, where reproducibility and benchmarking become the standard means for evaluation.
