Background: Intelligence and autonomy What is Intelligence? The ability of a system to act appropriately in an uncertain environment Appropriate action is that which increases the probability of success A holistic approach to systems autonomy 7 / 29 N

Background: Intelligence and autonomy What is Intelligence? The ability of a system to act appropriately in an uncertain environment Appropriate action is that which increases the probability of success Success is the achievement of behavioral sub-goals that support the system’s ultimate goal A holistic approach to systems autonomy 7 / 29 N

Background: Intelligence and autonomy What is Intelligence? The ability of a system to act appropriately in an uncertain environment Appropriate action is that which increases the probability of success Success is the achievement of behavioral sub-goals that support the system’s ultimate goal The criteria of success and the system’s ultimate goal may be defined external to the intelligent system (source: J. Albus, Outline of a theory of intelligence) A holistic approach to systems autonomy 7 / 29 N

The holistic approach to autonomy Key message ’Autonomy’ is more than just another requirement Individual sensors, perception, control are all "getting there" but.. ..problems of integrating them into a safe, total system are not even completely understood Analysis methods are inadequate Laws, regulations, standards are not up to speed Exploding state space, difficulties guaranteeing behavior . . .
