# Evaluation & Quality Standards

**Standardized Metrics:**

**Mobile Robots (Wheeled/Legged)**

* Time to goal position and path following accuracy
* Obstacle avoidance success rate and localization precision
* Energy efficiency and computational resource usage

**Robot Arms & Manipulators**

* Pick and place accuracy with repeatability consistency
* Task completion success rate and cycle time optimization
* Safety compliance and collision avoidance

**Perception & Vision**

* Object detection rate, accuracy, and classification precision
* Tracking duration, stability, and feature extraction quality
* Robustness across lighting and environmental conditions

**SLAM & Mapping**

* Map quality versus ground truth with localization drift analysis
* Loop closure detection rate and computational efficiency
* Real-time performance and memory usage optimization

**Quality Assurance & Anti-Spam**

**Technical Standards:**

* **Reproducibility Requirements:** All submissions include complete setup instructions
* **Community Review:** Peer evaluation and feedback on technical quality and innovation
* **Automated Testing:** Standardized benchmark validation and performance verification
* **Version Control:** Git-based submission tracking with change history

**Participation Integrity:**

* **Deposit Systems:** $ROBA deposits are required to attempt challenges discouraging spam
* **Usage Validation:** Assets with low adoption receive reduced future rewards
* **Dispute Resolution:** Clear appeals process for evaluation disagreements
* **Identity Verification:** KYC requirements for substantial rewards and enterprise opportunities
