I-X AIBO Test Environment Austin Tate 2-Mar-2006 Together, we all ought to agree on a simple demo/evaluation environment. I am assuming something like a couple of rooms connected by an "L" shaped corridor a bit like level 4 of Appleton Tower. Split into a simple grid of areas perhaps 4 X 8. Something like: A A A B D A A A C C E A A A C C Large Room A (where robots are based) Small Room B (where a search target might be) L Shaped corridor C Entrance/Fireexit D Fireexit only E Objects with unique colours could be in certain areas, and the tasks could be to go (dead reckoning to make it easy and allow for inaccuracy) to the centre of each mapped area, check you are in expected position by using expected wall colours perhaps, find and report on the target objects and their colour? We might say that WiFi communications (and human responders) are at location D. The area at B and E are just outside of WiFI range, so if you want to report from there you must plan to move back to an area where WiFi comms is possible.
