Abstract The Robot Operating System (ROS) has become the de-facto standard framework
for robotics software, and a great part of commercial robots is expected to have at least one …

Safe deployment of self-driving cars (SDC) necessitates thorough simulated and in-field
testing. Most testing techniques consider virtualized SDCs within a simulation environment …

Mobile robots operate in various environments (eg aquatic, aerial, or terrestrial), they come
in many diverse shapes and they are increasingly becoming parts of our lives. The …

Autonomous robots combine skills to form increasingly complex behaviors, called missions.
While skills are often programmed at a relatively low abstraction level, their coordination is …

Autonomous robots combine a variety of skills to form increasingly complex behaviors called
missions. While the skills are often programmed at a relatively low level of abstraction, their …

Nowadays, many companies design and develop their software systems as a set of loosely
coupled microservices that communicate via their Application Programming Interfaces …

Robots artificially replicate human capabilities thanks to their software, the main
embodiment of intelligence. However, engineering robotics software has become …

Assistive robotic systems are quickly becoming a core technology for the service sector as
they are understood capable of supporting people in need of assistance in a wide variety of …

The paper presents a model-based approach to develo** robotic system controllers.
Central to this approach is a parameterised meta-model that describes the generic robotic …

Simulation-based testing of automated driving systems (ADS) is the industry standard, being
a controlled, safe, and cost-effective alternative to real-world testing. Despite these …
