Abstract:
In recent years, the software engineering community have used the term “CyberPhysical System” (CPS) to denote autonomous systems, which collaborate on tasks, no individual CPS can achieve alone ([1-3]). With increasing quality and ubiquity of high-performance communication equipment and computing hardware, previously remote controlled unmanned autonomous vehicles for the military, search and rescue robots, or autonomous cars are becoming more intelligent and can roam the world with minimal human intervention. In consequence, these autonomous CPS are often entrusted with safety-critical behavior. However, this implies new and unforeseen challenges to their development, as the development process must ensure that no human is harmed or injured during operation. In other words, the CPS must be verifiably safe. This research program focuses on the challenges during early stages of development of collaborative CPS, when requirements document assertions the future behavior of the CPS. These assertions can then be used to guide safety assessment techniques such as FHA or FMEA. To this end, we used several small instructional robot kits as a simple surrogate platform to investigate the challenges and possible solutions to CPS development.
