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).
  
== '''Part 1: project profile''' ==
+
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.

=== Project short description ===
+
'''See the [http://www.rawseeds.org official website of the project] for details and downloads.'''
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.
 
By the way, RAWSEEDS means ''Robotics Advancement through Web-publishing of Sensorial and Elaborated Extensive Data Sets''.

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.

Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include significant amounts of mechanical work and little 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.
+
* Transportation of heavy loads (e.g. robots).  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.

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.
