Keynote of Dr. Moritz Tenorth from Magazino at the 3rd International Workshop on Robotics Software Engineering (RoSE’21).

The goal of RoSE 2021 is to bring together researchers from participating domains with practitioners to identify new frontiers in robotics software engineering, discuss challenges raised by real-world applications, and transfer latest insights from research to industry. RoSE 2021 will solicit contributions from both academic and industrial participants, thus fostering active synergy between the two communities.

About the keynote:
Software engineering for autonomous logistics robots - Autonomous robots are more and more deployed in human environments, logistics, collaborative manufacturing applications, agriculture, or last-mile delivery tasks. These environments are characterized by dynamic changes, uncertainty from sensor readings and actuator movements, and disturbances by humans and other agents. That is, there are plenty of situations in which a robot needs to autonomously decide what to do in order to successfully accomplish its tasks. Traditional methods for programming robots often cannot provide this autonomy because they are lacking perception and decision-making capabilities. We believe that new, behavior-based programming methods are required to enable robots to robustly adapt and properly react to such unforeseen situations. However, when developing, deploying and operating products that exhibit highly autonomous behavior, new challenges arise: For guaranteeing a certain level of behavioural quality, novel testing and QA structures need to consider the complexity and non-determinism in the system. When operating a fleet of autonomous robots, the role of a robot manufacturer shifts from shipping products towards operating a distributed system of embodied computers connected to the Internet – which creates a number of opportunities, but also challenges to address.

About Magazino:
Magazino GmbH develops and builds intelligent, mobile robots that perceive their environment and make their own decisions. These autonomous robots work alongside people and make processes in e‑commerce, fashion and production logistics more flexible and efficient than ever before. With over 100 employees in Munich, Magazino is the largest Advanced Robotics team in Europe. Magazino’s investors include Jungheinrich AG, Körber AG, Zalando and Fiege Logistik.
