Jordy Senden works at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU\/e), where he leads the TU\/e team in the European AI-Matters project and co-founded the Robotics Technology Center (RTC) together with Wouter Kuijpers. He holds a BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering and an EngD (formerly PDEng) in Mechatronic Systems Design, where he first encountered systems engineering, an approach that has shaped his work ever since. He then completed a PhD in robotics at TU\/e on world models for robust robotic systems, studying how robots can build and use an understanding of their environment to act reliably in real-world conditions. Within AI-Matters, which establishes Test and Experimentation Facilities to lower the barrier for SMEs to adopt AI and robotics and to make the manufacturing sector more robust, his team focuses on autonomous robots that perform relevant industrial skills. With the RTC, he aims to bridge the valorisation gap between robotics research and industry, accelerating innovation and the uptake of AI and robotics.
\nHe is convinced systems engineering holds the key to making autonomous robots dependable enough for industry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Abstract.

knowledge representation, task models, reusable skills,
\nresource models, planning, execution monitoring and
\nreasoning.<\/p>\n

Special attention is given to the role of semantic world
\nmodels as the explicit representation of the operational
\ncontext of an autonomous system. Such models provide the
\nfoundation for reasoning, decision-making, monitoring and
\nadaptation, while enabling traceability between system
\nobjectives, operational knowledge and system behaviour. The
\nworkshop further discusses the separation of Task, Skill
\nand Resource as an architectural principle that promotes
\nmodularity, reuse and interoperability across robotic
\nplatforms.<\/p>\n

These concepts are positioned within a broader
\nSystems-of-Systems perspective, where AI components are
\nintegrated as specialised capabilities within a modular
\nsystem architecture rather than acting as the architecture
\nitself. This architectural approach supports runtime
\nadaptation while maintaining explicit interfaces,
\nverifiable behaviour and lifecycle manageability.<\/p>\n

The workshop provides an interactive forum to discuss how
\nclassical systems engineering principles\u2014including
\nabstraction, decomposition, interface definition and
\nmodel-based engineering\u2014can be extended to support the
\ndesign and engineering of trustworthy autonomous systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordy Senden PhD in Robotics | Knowledge Valorisation Officer and Project Manager for the AIMatters project at Eindhoven University of Technology | Owner at Senden Systems Solutions Engineering Autonomy: How Systems Engineering Can Shape the Next Generation of Intelligent Robotic Systems Bio.
