Autonomous Systems (SSK)
Autonomous Systems Autonomous systems are machines or systems that can sense their environment, make decisions, and perform actions with little or no human intervention . They combine several engineering fields: Sensors → Perception → AI/ML → Decision-making → Control → Actuation Examples 🚗 Autonomous vehicles — cars, trucks and buses that navigate without continuous human control 🚁 Autonomous drones — mapping, inspection, agriculture and delivery 🤖 Industrial robots — robots that independently move, pick, weld, inspect or assemble 🚜 Autonomous agricultural machines — tractors and harvesting systems 🚢 Autonomous ships — navigation and collision avoidance 🏭 Autonomous factories — machines that coordinate production and respond to changing conditions 🛰️ Autonomous spacecraft/rovers — navigation and scientific operations with limited communication from Earth 🔧 Key technologies Technology Purpose Computer Vision Understand cameras/images LiDAR ...
