Abstract

Robots are very complex systems requiring intensive testing before being released as final products on the market. Moreover, due to the fast pace of robotics technological advancements, it would be difficult to keep track of all the knowledge behind without the implementation of a proper knowledge management system. This paper presents a methodology for the usability of knowledge models in robot’s software testing. A knowledge model was implemented and utilized using Celonis tool, and some conclusions were drawn from the experimentation based on a robot’s simulation within Webots.
