Source overview

The Robotarium gives remote users access to a multi-robot facility. Its author abstract makes minimally invasive safety routines a design requirement so uploaded coordination programs can run while protecting the shared hardware under stated guarantees.

Use and review

Guarantees are conditional on the stated dynamics, sensing and constraint assumptions. Abstract/source screening does not validate a complete robot installation or an ISO13849 safety function.
