Formal specification and verification of autonomous robotic systems: A survey

M Luckcuck, M Farrell, LA Dennis, C Dixon… - ACM Computing …, 2019 - dl.acm.org
Autonomous robotic systems are complex, hybrid, and often safety critical; this makes their
formal specification and verification uniquely challenging. Though commonly used, testing …

A survey of software quality for machine learning applications

S Masuda, K Ono, T Yasue… - 2018 IEEE International …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Machine learning (ML) is now widespread. Traditional software engineering can be applied
to the development ML applications. However, we have to consider specific problems with …

Verification of agent navigation in partially-known environments

B Aminof, A Murano, S Rubin, F Zuleger - Artificial Intelligence, 2022 - Elsevier

[PDF][PDF] Towards Formal Verification of Neuro-symbolic Multi-agent Systems.

P Kouvaros - IJCAI, 2023 - ijcai.org
This paper outlines some of the key methods we developed towards the formal verification of
multiagent systems, covering both symbolic and connectionist systems. It discusses logic …

On the robustness of consensus-based behaviors for robot swarms

M Moussa, G Beltrame - Swarm Intelligence, 2020 - Springer
In swarm robotics, behaviors requiring consensus, meaning having the robots agree on a
set of variables, have attracted great attention over the years. Determining the robustness …

[PDF][PDF] Symbolic Synthesis of Fault-Tolerance Ratios in Parameterised Multi-Agent Systems.

P Kouvaros, A Lomuscio, E Pirovano - IJCAI, 2018 - ijcai.org
We study the problem of determining the robustness of a multi-agent system of unbounded
size against specifications expressed in a temporalepistemic logic. We introduce a …

Ensuring trustworthy and ethical behaviour in intelligent logical agents

S Costantini - Journal of Logic and Computation, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Autonomous intelligent agents are employed in many applications upon which the life and
welfare of living beings and vital social functions may depend. Therefore, agents should be …

A counter abstraction technique for verifying properties of probabilistic swarm systems

A Lomuscio, E Pirovano - Artificial Intelligence, 2022 - Elsevier
We introduce a semantics for reasoning about probabilistic multi-agent systems in which the
number of participants is not known at design-time. We define the parameterised model …

Robustness against agent failure in hedonic games

A Igarashi, K Ota, Y Sakurai, M Yokoo - arXiv preprint arXiv:1903.05534, 2019 - arxiv.org
We study how stability can be maintained even after any set of at most k players leave their
groups, in the context of hedonic games. While stability properties ensure an outcome to be …
