Abstract-Novel robot technologies are becoming available to automate more complex tasks, more flexibly, and collaborating with humans. Methods and tools are needed in the automation and robotics industry to develop and integrate this new breed of robotic systems. In this paper, the ISE&PPOOA methodology for Model-Based Systems Engineering is applied for the development of robotic systems. The methodology is described through its application to reengineer a state-of-the-art collaborative robot application. The challenges that robotic systems present to model-based systems engineering are discussed, together with the benefits of MBSE methodologies.
