Method and test assembly for testing an autonomous behavior controller for a technical system

A test arrangement for testing an autonomous behavior controller for a technical system, comprising,

• a) a first interface for coupling the autonomous behavior controller;
• b) a second interface for coupling a machine model for physically simulating the technical system;
• c) a third interface for coupling an environment model modelling an environment of the technical system;
• d) a fourth interface for coupling a disruption model modelling potential disruptions in the environment;
• e) a disruption data generator for generating disruption data by means of the disruption model and for modifying the environment model on the basis of the disruption data;
• and
• f) a simulator:
• for environment-specifically simulating and generating sensor data of the technical system by means of the modified environment model and the machine model,
• for receiving control data for the technical system that are generated by the autonomous behavior controller on the basis of the simulated sensor data,
• for simulating an operating behavior of the technical system that is induced by the control data, by means of the machine model, and
• for ascertaining and outputting a performance value quantifying the operating behavior.
