We study automated test generation for verifying discrete decision-making modules in autonomous systems. We utilize linear temporal logic to encode the requirements on the system under test in the system specification and the behavior that…

The reactive synthesis problem is to find a finite-state controller that satisfies a given temporal-logic specification regardless of how its environment behaves. Developing a formal specification is a challenging and tedious task and…
