Abstract:

Robot intelligence is evaluated based on five essential elements, including perception, cognition, decision-making, execution, and interaction. The intelligence of a robot can then be classified into five levels, from L1 to L5, according to the implementation of the five elements. This talk is on the procedure of robot intelligence level evaluation. First, the test items are selected according to the intelligent characteristics and attributes of the sample. Next, according to the standard of robot intelligence level, tests are conducted separately on the five elements. Among the elements, perception includes visual, auditory and tactile senses; cognition and decision-making include path planning, path adaptation, trajectory planning, trajectory adaptation, et al. Execution ability is evaluated by movement accuracy, force control accuracy as well as motion accuracy. While interaction includes human-robot interaction, operation interaction, and multi-robot interaction. Based on the above tests, the ability assessment covering the five elements are conducted and the intelligence level is determined under comprehensive evaluation.
