Detecting Stimuli with Novel Temporal Patterns to Accelerate Functional Coverage Closure

no code implementations19 Jun 2024 Xuan Zheng, Tim Blackmore, James Buckingham, Kerstin Eder

Novel test selectors have demonstrated their effectiveness in accelerating the closure of functional coverage for various industrial digital designs in simulation-based verification.

On Self-Supervised Dynamic Incremental Regularised Adaptation

no code implementations13 Nov 2023 Abanoub Ghobrial, Kerstin Eder

In this paper, we give an overview of a recently developed method for dynamic domain adaptation, named DIRA, which relies on a few samples in addition to a regularisation approach, named elastic weight consolidation, to achieve state-of-the-art (SOTA) domain adaptation results.

Assessing Trustworthiness of Autonomous Systems

no code implementations5 May 2023 Gregory Chance, Dhaminda B. Abeywickrama, Beckett LeClair, Owen Kerr, Kerstin Eder

As Autonomous Systems (AS) become more ubiquitous in society, more responsible for our safety and our interaction with them more frequent, it is essential that they are trustworthy.

A Trustworthiness Score to Evaluate DNN Predictions

1 code implementation21 Jan 2023 Abanoub Ghobrial, Darryl Hond, Hamid Asgari, Kerstin Eder

Due to the black box nature of deep neural networks (DNN), the continuous validation of DNN during operation is challenging with the absence of a human monitor.

Model-based Test Generation for Robotic Software: Automata versus Belief-Desire-Intention Agents

no code implementations16 Sep 2016 Dejanira Araiza-Illan, Anthony G. Pipe, Kerstin Eder

In this paper, we compare using Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents as models for test generation with more conventional automata-based techniques that exploit model checking, in terms of practicality, performance, transferability to different scenarios, and exploration (`coverage'), through two case studies: a cooperative manufacturing task, and a home care scenario.

Towards the Safety of Human-in-the-Loop Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities for Safety Assurance of Robotic Co-Workers

no code implementations8 Apr 2014 Kerstin Eder, Chris Harper, Ute Leonards

The success of the human-robot co-worker team in a flexible manufacturing environment where robots learn from demonstration heavily relies on the correct and safe operation of the robot.
