Tree Synthesis

The use of robotics systems is increasingly widespread and spans a variety of application areas. From manufacturing, to surgeries, to chemical, these systems can be required to perform difficult, dangerous and critical tasks. The nature of such tasks places high demands on the dependability of robotics systems. Fault tree analysis is among the most often used dependability assessment techniques in various domains of robotics. However, there is still a lack of adjustment methods that can efficiently cope with the sequential dependencies among the components of such systems. In this paper, the authors first introduce some relevant techniques to analyze the dependability of robotics systems. Thereafter, an experience from research projects such as MAENAD (European automotive project investigating development of dependable Fully Electric Vehicles) is presented; emphasis is put on a novel approach to synthesizing fault trees from the components and that is suitable for modern high-technology robotics. Finally, the benefits of the approach are highlighted by using a fault-tolerant case study.
