OBJECTIVES

 +
Technical systems in particular robot systems get more complex as they
 +
work on more advanced tasks in more realistic environments. The increase
 +
of complexity is true for the hardware and software of the robot systems
 +
as well as for the algorithms and methods uses in the system. This

complexity is hard to control and lead to unexpected behaviors, faults

and mission failures. These characteristics are diametrical to the goal

of reliable, dependable, autonomous robot systems.
 +

In the last two decades a lot of research had been conducted in the

field of fault-tolerant, self-aware and robust autonomous systems. The

attempts to develop such intelligent systems can roughly be divided into

two directions. One direction is basically driven by the development and

application of robust robot systems while the other direction followed

the development of intelligent monitoring, reasoning and diagnosis

algorithms in general.

 +
The main objective of the workshop is to bring together practitioners

and researcher dealing with techniques for robust dependable systems in

the context of one of the largest Robotics and Automation conferences.

We expect an intense exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas

between these groups. This exchange will lead to an stimulating

cross-fertilization of these areas. In particular researchers which

develop and build intelligent robot systems will learn new methods to

environment.

OBJECTIVES

Technical systems in particular robot systems get more complex as they work on more advanced tasks in more realistic environments. The increase of complexity is true for the hardware and software of the robot systems as well as for the algorithms and methods uses in the system. This complexity is hard to control and lead to unexpected behaviors, faults and mission failures. These characteristics are diametrical to the goal of reliable, dependable, autonomous robot systems.

In the last two decades a lot of research had been conducted in the field of fault-tolerant, self-aware and robust autonomous systems. The attempts to develop such intelligent systems can roughly be divided into two directions. One direction is basically driven by the development and application of robust robot systems while the other direction followed the development of intelligent monitoring, reasoning and diagnosis algorithms in general.

The main objective of the workshop is to bring together practitioners and researcher dealing with techniques for robust dependable systems in the context of one of the largest Robotics and Automation conferences. We expect an intense exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas between these groups. This exchange will lead to an stimulating cross-fertilization of these areas. In particular researchers which develop and build intelligent robot systems will learn new methods to cope with unexpected situations and researchers from the diagnosis community will see new potential application domains and learn where are real problems in an autonomous system acting in a real-world environment.
