Letter of TÜV Süd stating conformance of our development to IEC EN 61508.
Welcome to SAMS!
During the SAMS project, a modul for computing safety zones depending on the velocity of moving robot has been implemented, and certified for use in safety systems up to SIL-3 according to IEC EN 61508.
The certification is based on a formal modelling of the domain, and a verification environment for MISRA-C programs built on top of the theorem prover Isabelle.
Overview
The project flyer gives a quick overview of the project (but it is in German). The final report summarizes the results, and this article, published in Autonomous Robots, gives an in-depth round-up of our scientific contributions.
