Performance Metrics for Robotic Randomized Bin Picking

In March 2012, the Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems (PerMIS'12) Workshop was held at the University of Maryland. During this event, hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a panel discussion focused on a very interesting topic: Technology Readiness for Randomized Bin Picking. In this article, I would like to highlights some of the interesting points that were discussed by the panel. All the information presented here is from a report about the panel discussion published by NIST members (see reference at the end of this article).
