Assessment of the Resilience Concept by Means of the HiPeRCAR Simulator

Dependability, a combination of availability, reliability and safety, wants to be the characteristic of the HiPeRCAR system. The ESA-funded project HiPeRCAR (High Performance Resilient Computer for Autonomous Robotics) shows how to combine reliability and robustness in an optimal way to get the highest possible dependability using limited resources. The achieved dependability allows to design a robotic system with suitable computational power for Space.
