Abstract

Model checking has been applied to many areas of software and hardware verification; this includes hybrid systems, which contain both hardware and software components. To model hybrid systems both types of component are included in a single model. In this research we consider hybrid systems in which multiple agents interact in an environment. An agent is a simple robot capable of moving, detecting obstacles and learning to avoid obstacles. The goal of this research is to discover a practical and standardised way of modelling these systems, and to develop theoretical techniques to measure performance.
