4、. A vertical step with an unknownedge condition is a type of obstacle that exists in emergencyresponse and other environments. These environments oftenpose constraints to robotic mobility to various degrees. Thistest method specifies apparatuses, procedures, and metrics tostandardize this obstacle f

Therequired mobility capabilities include traversing gaps, hurdles,stairs, slopes, various types of floor surfaces or terrains, andconfined passageways. Yet additional mobility requirementsinclude sustained speeds and towing capabilities.

7、 Standard testmethods are required to evaluate whether candidate robotsmeet these requirements.1.1.5 ASTM Task Group E54.08.01 on Robotics specifies amobility test suite, which consists of a set of test methods forevaluating these mobility capability requirements.

These perfor-mance data can be used to guide procurement specificationsand acceptance testing for robots intended

Summary of Test Method4.1 The task for this test method, vertical obstacle travers-ing, is defined as the entire robot traversing from the startingflat-floor terrain element to the ending flat-floor terrain elementand back. See Fig. 1. The test starts at the 10 cm (4 in.) height,the lowes

43、t height. As the evaluation proceeds, the task shall beperformed on the increased obstacle heights as specified inSection 6.4.2 The robots vertical obstacle traversing capability isdefined as the highest elevation that the robot is able totraverse. Further, the test sponsor can specify the statistic

44、alreliability and confidence levels of such a capability and, thus,dictate the number of successful task performance repetitionsthat are required.4.3 Teleoperation shall be used from the operator stationspecified by the administrator to test the robots using an OCUprovided by the operator. The opera

45、tor station shall be posi-tioned and implemented in such a manner as to insulate theoperator from the sights and sounds generated at the testapparatuses.4.4 The operator is allowed to practice before the test.She/he is also allowed to abstain from the test before it isstarted. Once the test begins,

46、there shall be no verbal commu-nication between the operator and the administrator regardingthe performance of a test repetition other than instructions onwhen to start and notifications of faults and any safety relatedconditions. The operator shall have the full responsibility todetermine whether a

47、nd when the robot has completed arepetition and notify the administrator accordingly. However, itis the administrators authority to judge the completeness of therepetition.NOTE 2Practice within the test apparatus could help establish theapplicability of the robot for the given test method. It allows

48、 the operatorto gain familiarity with the standard apparatus and environmental condi-tions. It also helps the test administrator to establish the initial apparatussetting for the test when applicable.4.5 The test sponsor has the authority to select the size ofthe lateral clearance for the specified

49、confined area apparatus.The test sponsor also has the authority to select the testmethods that constitute the test event, to select one or more testsite(s) at which the test methods are implemented, to determinethe corresponding statistical reliability and confidence levels ofthe results for each of the test methods, and to establish theparticipation rules including the testing schedules and the testenvironmental conditions.5.
