Autonomy Score

An autonomy score quantifies the level of independent operation in a robotic or autonomous system, aiming to provide a standardized metric for comparing and evaluating different systems across various tasks and environments. Current research focuses on developing robust frameworks for calculating these scores, considering factors like task complexity, environmental conditions, system reliability, and responsiveness, often employing fuzzy logic systems or weighted product methods to combine multiple performance metrics. This work is crucial for facilitating the safe and effective deployment of autonomous systems, providing a common language for developers, regulators, and users, and enabling more rigorous testing and validation procedures.
