Abstract

In the case of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), resilience can be an economical, an environmental, but most importantly, a mission-critical question as well: mission failure caused by the lack of resilience in some cases might imply the loss of the UGV, which could lead to human and financial losses and environmental damage. Thus, the aim of this article is to provide a methodology for UGV resilience analysis by introducing a generalizable method that can be applied both for complete UGV systems and subsystems, and leads to resilience quantification. After proposing a specific resilience definition for UGVs, this article proposes a method for UGV resilience assessment using process graphs, created based on the system components and the expected behavior of UGVs. To provide a context for the introduced solution, existing methods applied for UGV resilience assessment are briefly mentioned. The application of the proposed method is showcased on the perception subsystem of a UGV, finalized with the evaluation of the achieved results.
