Abstract

In this paper preliminary results of the H2020 EUROBENCH project are reported. EUROBENCH aims at defining a unified benchmarking framework for bipedal robotics. In particular, in this paper the structure of the survey promoted by the EUROBENCH consortium and its initial results are briefly reported. Objective of the survey is addressing a comprehensive analysis of the priorities for bipedal walking robots from the stakeholders point of view (e.g. experts, end-users, etc.) both in the humanoids and in the wearable robotics fields.

EUROBENCH project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 779963.
