New ASTM standard aims to test how robots perform in the real world

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 […]
