Formal Verification and Development of an Autonomous Firefighting Robotic Model

摘要

Formal verification is a potent and novel technique that is commonly used by researchers to verify software and embedded systems. Formal verification, recently, has been used by researchers to verify robotic systems. This paper is based on a robotic system for extinguishing the fire on rough terrains whose design has been verified using model checking and formal verification. An autonomous robot that can help the fire rescue team using sensors, has many increasingly modern applications that can automate our lives, for instance, a robot can benefit us where the approach of humans can be dangerous or risky. This research paper aims to develop a prototype model for the depiction of working of firefighting robot using various sensors. An arena is designed for this purpose having different modules for the robot model to surmount. Robotic systems concerning fire-fighting mechanisms have not been formally verified before, hence the model under study leads to the innovation in the design and working of autonomous robots because robotic formal verification is a potent technique that can detect and remove bugs from embedded systems in the design stage.
