The placebo effect of surgery is a real but little considered fact; other problems that arise in surgical trials are the skills of the participating surgeons, the random assignment of patients and the impossibility of a wholly blind approach.

Robot trials: an approach to simulation by object language

IEEE International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems, Towards a New Frontier of Applications, 2002
An autonomous mobile robot is designed to take decisions locally: its behavior is therefore not globally determinist but influenced locally as a function of the situation in which it finds itself. The testing of this type of behavior is therefore complex. Moreover, and in cases such as nuclear power plants where safety is all important, it is necessary
