New ASTM standard aims to test how robots perform in the real world

ASTM International's robotics committee (F45) is developing a proposed standard, WK100792, to measure the task performance of manipulators and mobile manipulators under controlled optical-signal degradation. Member Aarati Noronha notes that real-world conditions can degrade performance; the method would quantify how degraded optical information affects robot task performance.
