================================================== =
Workshop on Benchmarking Bipedal Locomotion
================================================== =
@ IEEE-RAS Humanoids 2014 Conference, Nov 18, 9:00 – 18:00
Webpage: http://orb.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/koroibot/?page_id=492
Dear colleagues,
The need for reliable benchmarks of bipedal locomotion is becoming more and more relevant. Despite this increasing interest, no consensus has been achieved yet about the set of benchmarks that should be adopted. To fill this gap, three European Project (H2R, Koroibot, and Walk-Man) have set this workshop to involve the international community in a thorough discussion about the above key features, with a specific focus on the assessment methods and protocols that can be easily applied across different laboratory settings.
THE DISCUSSION HAS ALREADY STARTED: We recently launched a web-based survey, which received more than 100 responses so far! The survey is still open at the following link:
http://goo.gl/forms/FL9Pd1xXgb
The preliminary results of this survey will be presented and discussed during the workshop.
STRUCTURE OF THE WORKSHOP
The aim of this workshop is to really WORK together. To this aim, the organization of this workshop will deviate from the usual talk-based structure. After several very short challenge talks, the workshop will essentially be structured in small discussion groups, in order to promote real debate and reasoning, which possibly result, at the end of the day, in a preliminary proposal of benchmarks to be proposed to the international forum. The discussion groups will be focusing on the different aspects related to functional performance and human-likeness, such as stability, efficiency, dynamic similarity, passive dynamics, etc. The discussion groups will then present their results to all workshop participants. A Poster Session will be also included, in order to promote the interchange of ideas among the participants during the coffee breaks.
FINAL PROGRAM:
9:00 – 9:10: Introduction, goals of the workshop (Organizers)
9:10 – 10:30: Challenge talks (part I)
10:30 – 11:00: Coffee break and Poster Session
11:00 – 11:30: Challenge talks (part II)
11:30 - 12:30: Split of participants in discussion groups, 1st round of discussions
12:30 – 14:00: Lunch break
14:00 – 15:45: Presentation of results of different discussion groups. 2nd round of discussions
15:45 – 16:30: Coffee break and Poster Session
16:30 – 17:00: Presentation of results of different discussion groups
17:00 – 18:00: Final discussion
