Autonomous Robots with Common Sense
Autonomous robots such as autonomous vehicles cars and drones have the potential to revolutionize the way we work and live. Unfortunately, current autonomous robots do not have ‘common sense’ and may enter a catastrophic condition called loss-of-control after failures. The ultimate goal of this research is to enable a new generation of autonomous robots that are aware of their physical capabilities and limitations, allowing them to act with common sense after failures. To achieve this I propose a new paradigm in autonomous robot control: ‘Artificial Physical Awareness’ (APA). APA requires accurate real-time knowledge of the time-varying stochastic safe envelope which is a subset of the…
