Revisiting Formal Methods for Autonomous Robots: A Structured Survey
This paper presents the initial results from our structured literature review on applications of Formal Methods (FM) to Robotic Autonomous Systems (RAS). We describe our structured survey methodology; including database selection and associated search strings, search filters and collaborative review of identified papers. We categorise and enumerate the FM approaches and formalisms that have been used for specification and verification of RAS. We investigate FM in the context of sub-symbolic AI-enabled RAS and examine the evolution of how FM is used over time in this field. This work complements a pre-existing survey in this area and we examine how this research area has matured over time. Specifically, our survey demonstrates that some trends have persisted as observed in a previous survey. Additionally, it recognized new trends that were not considered previously including a noticeable increase in adopting Formal Synthesis approaches as well as Probabilistic Verification Techniques.
