In the last decades, the classical verification of robotic software component is postponed
until the code is developed enough to function in real hardware. For this reason, the …

Software has been increasingly embedded into systems (eg, autonomous cars, traffic control
systems, power distribution systems) to increase the precision of their functionalities, deliver …

The large majority of technological devices can be seen as the sum of components of
heterogeneous nature (electrical, mechanical, thermal, software, etc.) so that their analysis …

This article shows how a hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation can be formulated in such a
way that the quality of the simulation can be assessed by evaluating the total energy …

This paper presents a method based on co-simulation of a mechatronic system to optimize
the control parameters of a two-axis inertially stabilized platform system (ISP) applied in an …

This work is about an approach for designing control software for mechatronic and robotic
machines. As all system parts (control algorithms, software infrastructure, I/O, and machine) …

The design process of mechatronic devices, which involves experts from different disciplines
working together, has limited time and resource constraints. These experts normally have …

Complex systems have to decomposed into sub-systems which are developed by
specialized teams. Modeling and simulation techniques help each team achieve a locally …

In this article, we present the process of modeling control algorithms as means to increase
reliability of software components. The approach to develo** Embedded Control Software …

The Pipe Inspection Robot for AuTonomous Exploration, or for short PIRATE, is an
inspection robot for gas pipes. It aims to determine the location of a leak more accurately …
