Floris Erich 研究員が2023 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA2023) にて開催されるワークショップ Second Workshop on Quality and Reliability Assessment of Robotic Software Architectures and Components (QRARSAC)にprogram committee メンバーとして参加します。また、"Physical Integration Testing for DevOps in Robotics"のタイトルで招待講演を行います。

ワークショップの概要:
*The development of intelligent robotic systems, both at present and in the future, will require greatly strengthened capabilities across sensing, reasoning, information management, and acting. The innovations required in these fields will primarily rely on the development of enhanced software components, software connectivity, and software architectures. This need is further emphasized by the increasing adoption of modular, open-source, and open-data contributions both within the research community and across the industry, for example, the widespread use of open-source modular middleware such as ROS. Although many significant research contributions deal with the analysis of correctness, robustness, or reliability of algorithms and theoretical formulations of robotic capabilities, relatively few deals with design and analysis concerning the quality and reliability of the software that supports the execution of these capabilities. This workshop aims to bridge the gap between practical software engineering, program verification, and applicable robotics by bringing the topics of quality and reliability assessment of software to the fore. The workshop will achieve this through a combination of talks from invited speakers that have relevant contributions and projects, together with contributions from the research community to welcome the latest ideas and contributions relevant to this topic.*

招待講演の概要:
*In the past decade an understanding has arisen in general software engineering that the primary measure of success should be software being successfully used by its intended users. The DevOps movement in particular has highlighted a gap between transferring software systems from the development environment to the operations environment. Recently various researchers and practitioners in robotics have looked at DevOps as a missing part in the way robot applications are created. Robot software faces some specific issues which general software does not have, increasing the complexity of introducing a DevOps way of working. The biggest issue is the physicality of robotics, our machines operate in the real world and thus have real world consequences. To make it easier to test robotic systems in real environments, we have introduced a testing framework called ROSPIT, which allows specifying Physical Integration Tests using a high level XML syntax and graphical tools.*
