Embedded Tolerance Analysis for Sensor Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tolerance analysis constitutes an essential task in designing and building robust sensor systems for robotic applications. In most current practices, tolerance analysis is considered after the system is designed and implemented. This leads to poor system integrity and lower overall reliability. In this paper we discuss several aspects of tolerance analysis for sonar sensors used for mobile robot applications. We show how to embed tolerance analysis within a distributed control scheme. Simulation results of applying this model are presented with a brief discussion and conclusion on these results.

متن کاملInformer homed routing fault tolerance mechanism for wireless sensor networks
Sensors in a wireless sensor network (WSN) are prone to failure, due to the energy depletion, hardware failures, etc. Fault tolerance is one of the critical issues in WSNs. The existing fault tolerance mechanisms either consume significant extra energy to detect and recover from the failures or need to use additional hardware and software resource. In this paper, we propose a novel energy-aware...
متن کاملFault Modeling for Monitoring and Diagnosis of Sensor-Rich Hybrid Systems
This paper presents a framework for modeling faults in hybrid systems that leads to an efficient approach for monitoring and diagnosis of real-time embedded systems. We describe a fault parameterization based on hybrid automata models and consider both abrupt failures and gradual degradation of system components. Our approach also addresses the computational problem of coping with large amount ...
