The Project
Can we trust robots?
This project focuses on safety-related runtime monitoring for robotic systems to ensure safety and trustworthiness. Formal methods and adaptive learning are used to monitor the behaviour of robots in order to demonstrably ensure physical safety and at the same time enable the flexibility of robots. The aim is a safe coexistence of humans and robots.

Project Details
In a previous project, interdisciplinary research was conducted to explore which requirements a trustworthy robot must fulfil and how this can be designed technologically.
The focus now is on safety-related runtime monitoring for robotic systems to ensure safety and trustworthiness. This monitoring not only enables safe behaviour but also forms the basis for the use of modern AI methods in a reactive control context.
Through a combination of formal methods and adaptive learning, the behaviour of robots is monitored to demonstrably ensure physical safety while simultaneously allowing the flexibility of modern AI learning methods for trustworthy and productive behaviour. This project aims for a reliable and safe coexistence of humans and robots.
