On the Software Engineering Challenges of Applying Reactive Synthesis to Robotics (accepted to RoSE@ICSE'18)

Our paper "On the Software Engineering Challenges of Applying Reactive Synthesis to Robotics" has been accepted for presentation and publication at the 1st International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering (RoSE'18) at ICSE'18. The paper is based on our experience in the SYNTECH project.

We discuss software engineering challenges in applying reactive synthesis to robotics, beyond the synthesis algorithms themselves, including the challenge of writing declarative specifications, the challenge of abstraction of data and time, and the challenge of availability of an adequate development process supported by related tools. The identification and description of the challenges are based on our experience in building a development environment for reactive synthesis and applying it to the construction of about 10 different autonomous Lego robots.
