Concept: Dynamic Risk Assessment for AI-Controlled Robotic Systems

AI-controlled robotic systems pose a risk to human workers and the environment. Classical risk assessment methods cannot adequately describe such black box systems. Therefore, new methods for a dynamic risk assessment of such AI-controlled systems are required. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a new dynamic risk assessment approach for AI-controlled robotic systems. The approach pipelines five blocks: (i) a Data Logging that logs the data of the given simulation, (ii) a Skill Detection that automatically detects the executed skills with a deep learning technique, (iii) a Behavioral Analysis that creates the behavioral profile of the robotic systems, (iv) a Risk Model Generation that automatically transforms the behavioral profile and risk data containing the failure probabilities of robotic hardware components into advanced hybrid risk models, and (v) Risk Model Solvers for the numerical evaluation of the generated hybrid risk models.
