Project 1 – Modeling the robot architecture• Study of different modeling languages
• Model of architecture at different levels
• Analysis of this model (How reusable? How and what to simulate on that model?)
![Page 12: Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56812c25550346895d9091fe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Project 2 – Analysis of the mobile robot in its environmentSystems dynamics:• Analysis of the robot environment: How deep is the
description of the environment? What is part of the robot, what belongs to environment?
• Analysis of strategies and behaviours for the robot
![Page 13: Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56812c25550346895d9091fe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Project 3 – Definition of design tasks
• How to breakdown tasks? (from which viewpoint: advantages and inconvenients of each viewpoint)
• What are the causal connections between requirements and tasks?
• How to group the tasks?
• How to organise task schedule?
• How to evaluate the duration of each task?
![Page 14: Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56812c25550346895d9091fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Project 4 – Risk analysis and management techniques• Establish different strategies for the robot behaviour
• Analysis of risk between different strategies

Project 5 – Bayesian network to model components and parts
• Study bayesian network and Netica software
• Evaluate a probability of success of the robot due to the use of certain components
![Page 16: Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56812c25550346895d9091fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Project 6 – Interface management
• Study interface management techniques
• Make sure that each component provides the required services.
• Specify the needed inputs and required outputs for each component

Project 7 – Mobile robot in a System of Systems• Imagine now, many robots: - first similar, then different
• How do they interact?
• How do they communicate?
• Do they have a common goal?
![Page 18: Systems Thinking and Systems Engineering](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56812c25550346895d9091fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Project 8 – Verification and Validation
• How to make sure that requirements are fulfilled?
• Imagine tests for components, sub-systems and system?
• Simulate according to these tests

What is a System ?
"Simply defined, a system is a complex whole the functioning of which depends on its parts and the interactions between those parts. – physical, such as river systems– biological, such as living organisms– designed, such as automobiles– abstract, such as philosophical systems– social, such as families– human activity, such as systems to ensure the quality of products"
From: Systems Thinking: Creative Holism for Managers, M.C. Jackson, Wiley, 2003
“System means a grouping of parts that operate together for a common purpose.” – Gregory Watson

What is a model?INCOSE glossary definitions [INCOSE, 98]
• A representation of an actual or conceptual system that involves mathematics, logical expressions, or computer simulations that can be used to predict how the system might perform or survive under various conditions or in a range of hostile environments. (DODI 5000.2)
• A representation of an artifact or activity intended to explain the behavior of some aspects of it. (WG6)
• An abstract representation (often a mathematical representation) of an entity or an attribute. (WG6)
