Finalize specifications for experiment I

[sbrodeur]

Experiment 1: The robot is moving around a room, controlled by the experimenter using a joystick. Each recorded session is approximately 15 min. The beginning and end of each session is cut and adjusted to that the length is exactly 10 min. There are 4 session recordings per room, with various starting points and trajectories. There is little to no moving objects (including humans) in the room. The robot is directed by the experimenter not to hit any obstacles.

Room 1: C1-4016 Room 2: C1 FLOOR3 Room 3: C1-4103 Room 4: C1 TUNNEL Room 5: C1-3035 Room 6: B TUNNEL Room 7: C1-3036 Room 8: PROF

This experiment will provide 32 sessions of 10 min each.

Experiment 3: Similar to experiment 1, but humans navigate in the environment. The robot stops often just to observe.

Room 1: B5A1 Tunnels Room 2: C1B4 Tunnels Room 3: C1 Corridor Room 4: CAF Tunnels (Main Cafeteria tunnel) (extra) Room 5: C1 FLOOR3

This experiment will provide 16 sessions of 10 min each.

For this experiment, we need to find 8 rooms with different gist (e.g. computer lab, hallway, classroom, lunch room). It would be helpful to have some overall pictures of the rooms (i.e. to share with the dataset). The rooms should be large enough so that we can record 4 sessions of 10 min without the same path.

Room C1-4016 reservation confirmed. Administration says C1-4113/4115 and C1-4127 are not under their jurisdiction. Will need to find the place to contact.
