Ethical Framework for Designing Autonomous Intelligent Systems

A formal approach to designing autonomous systems: from Intelligent Transport Systems to Autonomous Robots

Emerging transport systems involve more and more fully automatic parts that communicate together in order to optimise traffic and security. Such systems are highly distributed, mobile and require physical constraints to be taken into account. The communicating entities may be included in vehicles or the infrastructure ; they must comply with real time and real space constraints ; they should al...

Antifragility for Intelligent Autonomous Systems

Antifragile systems grow measurably better in the presence of hazards. This is in contrast to fragile systems which break down in the presence of hazards, robust systems that tolerate hazards up to a certain degree, and resilient systems that – like selfhealing systems – revert to their earlier expected behavior after a period of convalescence. The notion of antifragility was introduced by Tale...

Designing an Intelligent Control Architecture for Autonomous Robots

Designing a control architecture for autonomous robots able to reason and to act in their environment to accomplish tasks, and to adapt in real time to the actual execution context, raises major questions in the eld of control theory, knowledge-based and reasoning systems, as well as software architecture. We propose in this paper an approach to build such systems, based on the experiences and ...

Designing Intelligent Systems for Teaching Visual Concepts

The paper describes how high-level knowledge about visual images could be represented and further interpreted through system-active and systempassive tutorial interactions. The ideas lend themselves to the design and implementation of a category of Intelligent Tutoring Systems aimed at the teaching of abnormalities in highly visual domains, like medical diagnostic imaging. The involved problems...
