Autonomous Systems
Autonomous systems are machines and software-driven platforms capable of operating independently in dynamic environments with minimal human intervention. This topic covers autonomous robots, vehicles, drones, and industrial systems that rely on perception, planning, and decision-making to navigate the physical world. It explores how AI, sensors, and control systems are combined to enable autonomy across sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, transportation, and infrastructure. The topic also addresses safety, reliability, regulatory considerations, and the technical limits of full autonomy. As autonomy moves from controlled settings to open environments, autonomous systems are becoming a key pillar of scalable automation.
