Abstract
This paper reports on three measurement science field exercises for evaluating ground, aerial, and aquatic robots. These events, conducted from February to June 2017, were conducted in close co-ordination with the responder community, standards organizations, manufacturers, and academia. Test data from a wide variety of robot platforms were gathered in a wide variety of standard and prototypical test methods ranging from mobility and manipulation to sensors and endurance.
