In this paper we show that using co-simulation for robot software design will be more efficient than without co-simulation. We will show an example of the plotter how the co-simulation is helping with the design process. We believe that a collaborative methodology based on model-driven design will improve the chances of closing the design loop early, improving cross-discipline design dialog, an...

The co-simulation is the chosen method within the ESPRIT Project INSYDE for the validation of hybrid SDL and VHDL specifications. This paper presents a concept for the integrated SDL and VHDL simulator and its realization in C++. The INSYDE concept for the co-simulation is based on the connection of two existing commercial simulators by the Coupling Module. The Integrated Simulator presented in...
