Automated Environment Reduction for Debugging Robotic Systems

Meriel von Stein,Sebastian Elbaum,Meriel von Stein,Sebastian Elbaum

Complex environments can cause robots to fail. Identifying the key elements of the environment associated with such failures is critical for faster fault isolation and, ultimately, debugging those failures. In this work we present the first automated approach for reducing the environment in which a robot failed. Similar to software debugging techniques, our approach systematically performs a parti...
