Autonomy has become ubiquitous in every aspect of daily life. Today's society is rapidly advancing towards autonomous vehicles that interact with humans; and we are witnessing significant progress in development of autonomous vehicles for many applications (unmanned aerial systems, space robots, self-driving cars, etc). The safety-critical nature of these systems requires us to provide simple, easy-to-test approaches that are not necessarily the best in terms of performance.
In this talk, I will share my experiences, learned-lessons during the development of several autonomy projects ranging from full-scale autonomous Boeing helicopters, Mars rovers, Tesla self-driving cars to Airbus airplanes. These autonomous vehicles operate on a different spectrum of environmental conditions such as aerial, space, and urban cities. Also, these vehicles have different capacity and limitations of hardware resources which restrict the set of methods that can be implemented for real-time execution. I will conclude my talk with an overview of videos, results from successful demonstrations.
