Subdomain

Sensing and Estimation

Sensing and Estimation ranges from robot-state estimation for feedback control to task-oriented interpretation of sensor data of any kind. Apart from estimation techniques, this category also covers different kinds of information representations. This subdomain corresponds to Part A, Chapter 4 in the Handbook of Robotics.

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.

Platform Building

In the Platform Building phase, the robot hardware is determined. This includes the selection and potential configuration of robot's sensors and actuators meeting the requirements defined in the functional design phase.

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.

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.
