In the era of industrialization and automation, safety is a critical factor that should be
considered during the design and realization of each new system that targets operation in …

Developing advanced robotics applications is now facing the safety issue for users, the
environment, and the robot itself, which is a main limitation for their deployment in real life …

A computational system is called autonomous if it is able to make its own decisions, or take
its own actions, without human supervision or control. The capability and spread of such …

A new methodology for describing the safety of human-robot collaborations is presented.
Taking a task-based perspective, a risk assessment of a collaborative robot system safety …

This paper investigates the ability to use complex multi-mobile robotic systems in risky and
dynamic environments, such as industrial plants and laboratories, with the presence of the …

In this article, we describe an approach to autonomous system construction that not only
supports self-awareness but also formal verification. This is based on modular construction …

Safety-critical systems with decisional abilities, such as autonomous robots, are about to
enter our everyday life. Nevertheless, confidence in their behavior is still limited, particularly …
