Capstone Project Evaluation Criteria

Overview​

This document outlines the comprehensive evaluation criteria for the autonomous humanoid robot capstone project. The evaluation framework ensures consistent and fair assessment of student implementations across multiple dimensions.

Evaluation Framework​

Multi-Dimensional Assessment​

The capstone project will be evaluated across five key dimensions:

  1. Technical Implementation (25%): Quality of code, system architecture, and technical execution
  2. Functionality (30%): Correctness and completeness of robot behaviors
  3. Performance (20%): Efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness of the system
  4. Safety and Reliability (15%): Safe operation and system robustness
  5. Innovation and Creativity (10%): Novel approaches and creative solutions
