Overview

This was the second in a series of three workshops on Assured Autonomy. See the landing page for this series here to learn more.

This workshop focused on identifying existing capabilities, current research, and research trends that could address the challenges and problems identified in workshop 1.

The workshop was structured in order to stimulate cross-disciplinary exchange. Research areas that were covered include the following:

  • Safety, verification, test and certification.
  • Security and privacy.
  • Human-autonomy integration and trust.
  • Policy, regulation and ethics.

Additional discussions—cutting across the research areas– concentrated on several applications of autonomy in mobility, health & medicine and the civilian infrastructure.

The expected outcome of the second workshop is an interim report which will provide inputs to the planning of and the discussions during the third workshop and to the final roadmap document.
