Monday

A strong interest shift from single robot to mulrirobot systems
has been taken place in robotics during recent years. Multirobot
systems are considered as physically embodied multi agent systems
constrained with the laws of physics. Planning and coordination of
multirobot systems are generally approached with a centralized
controller in mind. Coordination methods for systems involving
large number of robots like in robot swarms can be scaled up by
using fully distributed coordination architectures only. That sets
a new challenge to formal methods supporting the design and
verification of multirobot systems.
The focus of this course is on techniques and software-tools that
can be used to assess the quality and correctness of multirobot
systems’ behavior. The course emphasizes tools and techniques for
model-based development and formal verification of multirobot
system designs, particularly for model construction, model-based
reactive planning and mission verification. The topic is
illustrated with two case-studies: synthesis of the planning unit
for an assistive Scrub Nurse Robot and verification of a
self-stabilizing robot swarm coordination algorithm. The course
will contain a mix of lecturing and hands-on exercises especially
built around the Uppaal tool suite.
