Evaluate closed-loop behavior under physical uncertainty

Tidy racked 18 of 20 mugs. Is it a 90% robot? Anywhere from 70% to 97%, it turns out. Learn to put honest error bars, safety limits, and conditions on a robot's results.

Lesson overview

Tidy racked 18 of 20 mugs. Is it a 90% robot? Anywhere from 70% to 97%, it turns out. Learn to put honest error bars, safety limits, and conditions on a robot's results.

What you’ll explore

  • Define success and failure for a physical task, put a confidence interval on a success rate from few trials, count interventions honestly, test across physical conditions, and name the hardware safety limits and report details a robot evaluation needs.
