Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become useful tools in industries. In this paper, we verify the behavior of an autonomous UAV executing an inspection task. More specifically, we look into the use of the knowledge base system IDP as a verification tool. We propose an approach for the modeling and verification of the safety-critical UAV and its environment in IDP. The methodology and modeling choices that are beneficial for the performance of the verification task and the readability of the model are denoted. We identify the need for discrete domains and investigate the consequences. Verification is successfully achieved using both Bounded Model Checking (BMC) and Invariant Checking (IC).
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.
