Abstract

One approach to determining whether an automated system is performing correctly is to monitor its performance, signaling when the performance is not acceptable; another approach is to automatically analyze the possible behaviors of the system a-priori and determine performance guarantees. Thea authors have applied this second approach to automatically derive performance guarantees for behavior-based, multi-robot critical mission software using an innovative approach to formal verification for robotic software. Localization and mapping algorithms can allow a robot to navigate well in an unknown environment. However, whether such algorithms enhance any specific robot mission is currently a matter for empirical validation. Several approaches to incorporating pre-existing software into the authors' probabilistic verification framework are presented, and one used to include Monte-Carlo based localization software. Verification and experimental validation results are discussed for real localization missions with this software, showing that the proposed approach accurately predicts performance.
