Safe and robust autonomous systems are one of the - if not the - most
important instantiation of
embedded systems in middle-range future,
simply because the application domains are extremely
manifold, from
transportation over manufacturing to farming, surveillance (in-door,
land, air, and sea)
to care as well as entertainment. Consequently,
at the ARTEMIS SummerCamp 2009, the Strategy
Group identified
"Autonomous Systems" as one of the targets of the next ARTEMIS SRA.
However,
today a large number of different approaches and platforms exist,
rendering an economic
realization of such systems currently
unrealistic (perhaps besides the manufacturing domain, where
robots
are already industrially exploited). Simultaneously, as such systems
increasingly share
environment - and even closely cooperate - with
humans, there is an urgent need for providing any
possible means and
measures to assert and guarantee their dependability, in particular
safety and
robustness. While a huge log of analysing and testing
strategies and methods for conventional systems
exist, these are of
limited value for mobile autonomous systems with complex sensors and
behaviour.
Hence, R3-COP will progress autonomous systems in two
directions: technology and methodology.
Technology: R3-COP will
develop a fault-tolerant high-performance processing platform, based on a
multi-core
architecture, as well as innovative system components for robust
perception of the
environment including sensor fusion, and for
reasoning and reliable action control. Energy-efficient
drivetrains
will also be considered.
Methodology: a methodology-based development
framework will enable economic development of
reference platforms
for various robotic application domains as well as dedicated solutions. A
tool
platform will allow for guarded application of the design
methodology, including new test strategies
and tools.
The outcomes
will be applied in a series of demonstrators from ground-based,
airborne and
underwater domains. |
