Speaker: Prof. Kostas Alexis, NTNU

Title: Resilient Autonomy in Perceptually-degraded Environments

Abstract: Enabling autonomous robots to access, navigate and broadly operate in perceptually-degraded industrial or natural environments represents a strenuous and daunting challenge. Motivated by this fact, this talk focuses on methods and systems toward instilling resilient autonomy - using both classical and data-driven methods - across diverse robot configurations with the aim to seamlessly access and operate anywhere and subject to any conditions. Results and experiences from the victorious journey of Team CERBERUS in the DARPA Subterranean Challenge are presented, lessons learned are outlined and a multitude of experimental studies from follow-up research activities are discussed.
