Rawseeds, or ''Robotics Advancement through Web-publishing of Sensorial and Elaborated Extensive Data Sets'', has been funded by the European Union's 6th Framework Programme.
 +
Rawseeds built and published a high-quality '''Benchmarking Toolkit''' to compare and assess algorithms for robotics, mainly focused towards the problems of ''localization'', ''mapping'' and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping).
  
=== Project name ===
+
Rawseeds' Benchmarking Toolkit includes:
RAWSEEDS, or Robotics Advancement through Web-publishing of Sensorial and Elaborated Extensive Data Sets.
+
* high-quality '''data sets''', obtained by exploring indoor and outdoor environments with a suitably equipped mobile robot;
 +
* problems (called '''Benchmark Problems''' or BPs) defined on the above datasets, each of which includes methodologies to evaluate the performance of any algorithm used to solve the problem;
 +
* algorithms (called '''Benchmark Solutions''' or BSs) that solve the BPs, along with their output when applied to the associated problems and with the results of the evaluation of such output using the methodologies defined in the BP.
  
=== Project short description ===
 
Project '''RAWSEEDS''' has the aim of gathering and publishing on the web:
 
*high-quality '''data sets''', obtained by exploring indoor and outdoor environments with  suitably equipped mobile robots;
 
*problems (called '''Benchmark Problems''' or BPs) defined on the above datasets, each of them including a description of the methodology to use when evaluating a solution for it;
 
*algorithms (called '''Benchmark Solutions''' or BSs) that solve the BPs, along with their output when applied to the associated problems and with the results of the evaluation of such output using the criteria defined in the BP.
 
  
RAWSEEDS' BPs and BSs are mainly focused towards the problems of ''localization'', ''mapping'' and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) in robotics. As a whole, they are called ''Rawseeds' Benchmarking Toolkit'' because they can be used to assess and compare algorithms.

=== Laboratory work and risk analysis ===
+
''describe here what you actually do or will do in the AIRLab for your project; it is especially important to specify any activity that can lead to potential risks for you or other people and how you will ensure that no one is harmed. A list of potentially dangerous (if not correctly performed) activities is included into the [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] of the AIRLab, which you MUST know to work at the AIRLab.''
+
 
+
Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include significant amounts of mechanical work as well as of electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:
+
* Use of mechanical tools. Standard safety measures described in [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] will be followed.
+
* Use of soldering iron. Standard safety measures described in [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] will be followed.
+
* Use of high-voltage circuits. Special gloves and a current limiter will be used.
+
* Transportation of heavy loads (e.g. robot parts).  Standard safety measures described in [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] will be followed.
+
* Robot testing.  Standard safety measures described in [http://airlab.elet.polimi.it/index.php/airlab/content/download/461/4110/file/documento_valutazione_rischi_AIRLab.pdf Safety norms] will be followed.
+
* Death ray testing: on the robot will be mounted professor Azzoide's death ray projector. When testing it on live animals (e.g. pigeons, pigs, camels) we will make sure that people stand clear of the test area.

Rawseeds, or Robotics Advancement through Web-publishing of Sensorial and Elaborated Extensive Data Sets, has been funded by the European Union's 6th Framework Programme. Rawseeds built and published a high-quality Benchmarking Toolkit to compare and assess algorithms for robotics, mainly focused towards the problems of localization, mapping and SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping).

Rawseeds' Benchmarking Toolkit includes:

  • high-quality data sets, obtained by exploring indoor and outdoor environments with a suitably equipped mobile robot;
  • problems (called Benchmark Problems or BPs) defined on the above datasets, each of which includes methodologies to evaluate the performance of any algorithm used to solve the problem;
  • algorithms (called Benchmark Solutions or BSs) that solve the BPs, along with their output when applied to the associated problems and with the results of the evaluation of such output using the methodologies defined in the BP.


See the official website of the project for details and downloads.


The Benchmarking Toolkit (500GB of compressed data!) has been completed and is online, but the work of Rawseeds is ongoing for what concerns the administration of the website and the management of the community of users.
