This paper presents a generic approach to specify a fault tolerant robot controller, and its implementation and validation with ROS and Gazebo. The main idea is to implement a fault tolerance strategy using a fault tree and an ordered set of recovery modules. A fault injection campaign has been carried out with a mobile autonomous robot for airport inspection using simulation with Gazebo and ROS. This successful experiment implements a safety-first strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
