Accelerating Deployment of Autonomous Delivery Robots Using Model-Based Design

KYBURZ Switzerland is an OEM of electric vehicles for the last mile delivery market. Based on customer requests, we began developing automated delivery systems in 2017. We have experience in electric drive integration and vehicle design. Based on aggressive project deadlines and the goal to follow best practices in functional safety for embedded design, we used Model-Based Design with substantial success. In a short period, we delivered four prototype vehicles that have been used to validate business cases for our customers.

We will describe how we were able to meet our challenging technical goals on time using Model-Based Design, including an innovative approach using Simulink PLC Coder™ to achieve SIL2 performance on our embedded controllers.
