AI and Autonomous Systems: Safety, Trustworthiness and Adaptation
The Workshop Summary:
The workshop will bring together leading researchers from European universities, companies and research centers to explore how we can design autonomous systems that are safe, reliable, and worthy of human trust. Through talks spanning robot safety, digital twins, software engineering, and advanced AI methods, the program highlights the newest approaches for ensuring robustness and transparency in autonomous systems.
Sessions will cover safe autonomy, runtime verification, uncertainty quantification, anomaly and OOD detection, active perception, simulation-driven development, and the societal dimensions of service and autonomous robotics. The workshop will also feature forward-looking discussions on cognitive digital twins and self-adaptive robotic systems.
Overall, the event offers a concise but rich look at the technologies and methodologies that can shape the next generation of trustworthy robotics and AI.
Overarching Goals:
The overarching goal of the workshop is to introduce the concepts of safety, trustworthiness and adaptation of AI-powered Autonomous Systems through the work that takes place in the framework of the HORIZON EUROPE RoboSAPIENS project.
The Local Impact Description:
The workshop will help students, researchers or tech enthusiasts to improve their knowledge and skills on the relevant subjects.
Schedule:
The workshop is scheduled from 14:00 to 18:00 (UCT+2)
