Abstract

The model-based engineering of dependable robotic systems brings challenges that include the need to work effectively with a range of models, owners and operators, and addressing the extent to which the systems evolve over time. This paper explores the linking of co-simulation, which allows for the exploration of models composed of multiple diverse simulation units, with the concept of a digital twin, which provides a framework for coupling virtual models with the real, evolving systems that they are intended to represent. We describe a systematic and generic approach to fault injection in multi-formalism models that use the Functional Mockup Interface standard, alongside the embedding of such multi-models in digital twins. We illustrate the potential and challenges of such an approach using a small “desktop” version of a commercial semi-autonomous agricultural robot. Inspired by the work of Jan Peleska on test automation, we identify directions for future research and innovation in this setting.
