Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe robotics community needs ways to quantitatively measure whether a particular robot is capabl

3、eof performing and reliable enough to perform specific missions. These missions decompose into setsof elemental robot tasks that can be represented individually as standard test methods. The ASTMInternational Committee on Homeland Security Applications, Operational Equipment Subcommittee,Robots Task

4、 Group (E54.08.01) specifies standard test methods, practices, and guides for evaluatingresponse robots. These standard test methods measure specific robot capabilities in repeatable ways tofacilitate comparisons among different robot models or different configurations of a particular robotmodel. Us

5、ers assemble different sets of standard test methods into combinations that address theirenvisioned missions tasks.Resulting robot capabilities data support robot researchers, manufacturers, and user organizations indifferent ways. Researchers use them to understand mission requirements, refine inno

6、vatingapproaches, and demonstrate break-through capabilities. Manufacturers use them to evaluate designdecisions, integrate payloads and emerging technologies, and harden systems. Responder organiza-tions use them to guide purchasing, align with deployment objectives, and focus training withmeasures

7、 of operator proficiency.The overall set of the standards addresses the robotic terminology, safety, maneuvering, terrains,obstacles, dexterity, sensing, communications, energy/power, durability, proficiency, autonomy, andlogistics. Each standard test method enables repeatable testing to establish s

Standard test methodsessentially define the test apparatuses, procedures, and performance metrics so they can be fabricatedand practiced by robot manufacturers and user groups alike. They provide a tang
