The vision of seamless human-robot interaction in our everyday life that allows for tight
cooperation between human and robot has not become reality yet. However, the recent …

New safety critical systems are about to appear in our everyday life: advanced robots able to
interact with humans and perform tasks at home, in hospitals, or at work. A hazardous …

Collaborative robotics have a large potential for use in industrial applications. Nevertheless,
this potential is currently unrealized and one of the reasons is the challenges in planning …

While collaborative robots have made headlines through recent industrial applications, they
are not as widespread in industry as it may seem. The authors of this paper believe that one …

Safety is a major concern for robots that interact physically with humans. We propose a risk
analysis method based on deviation analysis of system usage scenarios that allows the …

Safety is now a major concern in many computer based systems and more particularly for
autonomous systems such as service robots in physical contact with humans. The traditional …

This paper describes RTMN 2.0, an extension of the modeling language RTMN. RTMN
combines process modeling and robot execution. Intuitive robot programming allows those …

Robotic systems have to carry out more and more complex tasks, including ones where
humans can be endangered. Residual design faults in such systems, as well as the …

Despite potential benefits in Software Engineering, adoption of software modelling in
industry is low. Technical issues such as tool support have gained significant research …

Safety is a major concern for autonomous systems that physically interact with humans, such
as service robots. However, modeling dynamics of such systems is hard so classical safety …
