Abstract

Metrics and test methods are needed to characterize the control capabilities of robots with both intrinsic and extrinsic force sensing. The availability of these benchmarks will motivate research product development, and provide a mechanism for reporting and evaluating systems for the application space. This report presents a preliminary set of metrics and associated test methods with illustrative examples for assessing the performance of force-based robot control.
