Contents:

Students attending this lecture learn how to apply a model-based approach to find and describe the origins of uncertainty when designing unmanned systems. Major elements of the model-based approach are the interfaces between system modules dealing with uncertainty in measurements, decision making, planning, and control. Associated to these interfaces is a mathematical framework which the students learn to detail for given real-world applications.

Topic overview:

  • System-of-Systems Design, Verification & Validation
  • Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), Ontology, SysML
  • Causal and Acausal Descriptions
  • Uncertainty Propagation
  • Bayesian Inference & Bayesian Decision Making
  • Data Fusion & Tracking
  • Control, Planning, and Learning
