Scenario Building

In the Scenario Building phase, environment features, constraints and characteristics are defined. Furthermore, the robot's task is defined. This includes the specification of customer acceptance tests to be performed in the specified and potentially generalized environment.

Functional Design

In the Functional Design phase, hardware requirements and top-level functionalities are derived based on the scenario definition. Furthermore, top-level functionalities are decomposed and dependencies among them are identified. Also an initial functional design stating which functionalities interact with each other is developed.

Capability Building

In the Capability Building phase, basic and composite components are constructed up to the application-level and constraints for their deployment are specified. This also includes the specification and eventually generation of additional knowledge required for component execution such as knowledge bases and training data.

System Benchmarking

In the System Benchmarking phase, certain test procedures targeting different quality attributes are performed such as stress testing, safety and security testing, reliability and durability testing, and performance testing.

Product Deployment

In the Product Deployment phase, an application is tailored to a specific robot system. This includes also the installation of maintenance instrumentation and a final target platform system testing.

Product Maintenance

In the Product Maintenance phase, the robot application is operated and maintained. This includes eventually the analysis of log files and the tuning of system parameters.
