Multi-layer cyber-physical low-level control solution for mobile robots

Abstract

Self-driving vehicles and mobile robots are used more and more in public transportation and industrial companies. Multiple experimental platforms, which can be operated in an urban or industrial environment have been developed recently. The key development for robust and safe control of the robot’s operation is relying on the low-level cyber-physical system (CPS). CPS is composed of a collection of tightly integrated computational (cyber) units which are communicating with the physical world. CPS integrates computation and communication aspects with control and monitoring techniques. In this paper, the scientific goals underscore the analysis of the existing state of the art solutions to increase security, safety, and reliability of the multiple experimental platforms.
