Level Autonomy

Level autonomy research aims to develop systems capable of performing complex tasks with varying degrees of human oversight, ranging from fully autonomous operation to advisory roles. Current efforts concentrate on improving planning and decision-making algorithms, including deep reinforcement learning, behavior trees, and probabilistic models like POMDPs, often coupled with techniques like temporal transfer learning to enhance generalization and robustness. These advancements are crucial for achieving reliable autonomy in diverse domains such as robotics, autonomous driving, and healthcare, addressing challenges in real-world deployment and improving the safety and efficiency of automated systems.
