Abstract
New types of robotic applications, where tasks are accomplished in cooperation with humans and under unstructured environments, have led researchers to consider dependability requirements as fundamental design criteria. Particularly, robot controllers must include additional features allowing to cope with system failures in order to improve reliability and safety. In this article, we suggest the use of the UML within a development method including dependability means, for the design of real-time robot controllers.
