Robots operating in changing underwater environments may be required to adapt to these varying conditions. In tidal estuaries, for example, where the degree of salinity cycles in step with the level of the water, a robot may need to adapt its behavio...

Benchmarking robots in smart cities (2022)
Journal Article
Studley, M., Presutti, V., Nardi, D., & Carter, S. (2022). Benchmarking robots in smart cities. XRDS: Crossroads, The ACM Magazine for Students, 28(3), 20-25. https://doi.org/10.1145/3522686

In order for robots to become integrated into society, we need to be able to prove that robots do their jobs reliably. Robot benchmarking competitions in smart cities offer a glimpse into our future.
