• Abstract: Open-source software for cyber-physical systems (CPS) often lacks robust testing involving robotic platforms, resulting in critical errors that remain undetected. This is especially challenging when multiple modules of CPS software are developed by various open-source contributors. To address this gap, we propose Automated CPS Testing (ACT) that performs automated, continuous testing of open-source software with its robotic platforms, integrated with the open-source infrastructure such as GitHub. We implement an ACT prototype and conduct a case study on an open-source CPS with an educational robotic platform to demonstrate its capabilities.

  We introduce RACAS (Robot-Agnostic Control via Agentic Systems), a cooperative agentic architecture in which three modules communicate exclusively through natural language to provide closed-loop robot control.<n> RACAS requires only a natural language description of the robot, a definition of available actions, and a task specification; no source code, model weights, or reward functions need to be modified to move between platforms.<n>We evaluate RACAS on several tasks using a wheeled ground robot, a recently published novel multi-jointed robotic limb, and an underwater vehicle. RACAS consistently solved all assigned tasks across these radically different platforms, demonstrating the potential

By combining the widely adopted platform with the Robot Operating System, we enable the use of standard tools and practices for developing, deploying, scaling, and monitoring in CITS.

  We propose a backpropagation-free approach to robotic control through the neuro-cognitive computational framework of neural generative coding (NGC) We design an agent built completely from powerful predictive coding/processing circuits that facilitate dynamic, online learning from sparse rewards. We show that our proposed ActPC agent performs well in the face of sparse (extrinsic) reward signals and is competitive with or outperforms several powerful backprop-based RL approaches.
