Abstract:
This paper summarizes the design, execution and results of the first AAAI Robotics Competition which took place in conjunction with the tenth national AI conference this past summer. As of this writing, no specific efforts have been made to evaluate the performance of the various robot intelligence techniques used in light of the scoring that took place. Rather this paper attempts to point out lessons learned and hints at the difficulties involved in attempting to stage and judge robot intelligence techniques working against a common set of tasks.
