Abstract

The aim of this paper is to implement metrics and to define indicators to provide a unified criteria for evaluation method of the performance of autonomous mobile robots using different control algorithms. There is a first description of the mobile robot problem and the importance of a standardized process for evaluation of robot performances. There is a comparison between a simple navigation controller and an intelligent prototype based on consciousness. The architecture main features are also outlined. Test cases with and without conscious controller show that the latter performs an optimized source-to-target path.
