This project aims at deriving a scalable, correct-by-construction formal design methodology for multi-robot systems that can guarantee the accomplishment of high-level team missions through automatic synthesis of local coordination mechanisms and control laws. The basic idea is to decompose the team mission into individual subtasks such that the design can be reduced to local synthesis problems for individual robots. Multidisciplinary approaches combining hybrid systems, supervisory control, regular inference and model checking are utilized to achieve this goal.

Abstract:  This project focuses on fundamental theory studies so to enable a scalable, correct-by-construction formal design of multi-robot systems that can guarantee the accomplishment of high-level team missions through automatic synthesis of local coordination mechanisms and control laws.
