Such constraints make the development of dependable applications particularly complex and difficult. Indeed, it is necessary to demonstrate that these high-level requirements are taken into account throughout the development cycle and concrete solutions are implemented to achieve compliance.
In order to trust these applications, their development is contrained by dependability requirements.
#Flightgear software#
In many domains such as avionics, medecine or home automation, software applications play an increasingly important rolethat can even be critical for their environment. All our code is shared as open source, for the benefit of the community and to facilitate lighter-than-air vehicle (LTAV) research. Based on simulated wind and deformation, we predict substantial effects on controllability which are verified in real-world flight experiments. It is based on Robot operating system (ROS), simulation environment (Gazebo) and commercial off the shelf (COTS) electronics, all of which are open source. We present a flexible framework for modeling, simulation and control of airships.
This is not the case for airships, a simulation of which needs to address unique properties, i) dynamic deformation in response to aerodynamic and control forces, ii) high susceptibility to wind and turbulence at low airspeed, iii) high variability in airship designs regarding placement, direction and vectoring of thrusters and control surfaces. Solutions for simulation and control of these vehicles are ubiquitous. Fixed wing and multirotor UAVs are common in the field of robotics.
