Multi-level modeling of iterative engineering design of remote robot systems

The paper discusses an engineering design process in which the iterative search for the final design is necessary. One of the methods to model an iterative process of engineering design is to use state transition diagrams. One-level state transition diagrams can be quite complicated. In order to simplify them many levels of abstractions can be created that results in multi-level state diagrams. We discuss how to use such multi-level diagrams to model iterative engineering design on the example of remote robot systems design.
