Evaluation & Validation

Validate and evaluate your capstone project.

Testing Framework

Unit Tests

Test individual components in isolation:

def test_object_detection():
# Test perception module
assert model.predict(test_image) is not None

Integration Tests

Test component interactions:

def test_manipulation_pipeline():
# Test perception → planning → control
assert robot.grasp_object(target) == SUCCESS

System Tests

Test end-to-end functionality:

def test_full_task_execution():
# Test complete task from start to finish
assert robot.execute_task(instructions) == COMPLETED

Performance Metrics

  • Accuracy: Detection/classification accuracy (%)
  • Latency: End-to-end task completion time (seconds)
  • Robustness: Success rate across variations (%)
  • Safety: Constraint violations and near-misses

Documentation

Document your findings in:

  • Project report (10-15 pages)
  • Technical presentation deck
  • Code repository with README
  • Video demonstration
