arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

This study introduces an interdisciplinary framework for benchmarking robots deployed in public environments, addressing the gap between traditional laboratory metrics and real-world benchmarking requirements. We evaluate three distinct robots across diverse use cases - outdoor park cleaning, pedestrian underpass cleaning, and interactive library assistance - each representing unique challenges in public daily life. Over a three-year benchmarking process (2023-2025) comprising seven benchmarking events, a consensus workshop and six on-site evaluations (two per use case), we utilized realistic
