Abstract:
Recently a variety of service robots is available as standard platforms allowing a worldwide exchange of software for applications in the service sector or industrial environments. Open source software components enhance this sharing process, but require the maintenance of a certain level of quality. This paper presents an approach to a testing and evaluation platform which facilitates the sharing of capabilities over different robot types, environments and application cases.
