AI for the Transfer of Control from Autonomous Systems to Humans

Autonomous systems, like self-driving cars and collaborative robots, must occasionally ask people around them for help in anomalous situations. They form a new generation of interaction platforms that provide a comprehensive multimodal presentation of the current situation in real-time, so that a smooth Transfer of Control (ToC) to human agents is guaranteed. Several scientific questions are associated with this ToC, including what should cause a ToC, when and how to notify a user, and how to manage many of these situations. In this seminar, we will investigate several methods of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that may be applied to these challenges.

This seminar covers theoretical and practical aspects of the ToC challenges. Attendees will investigate a topic or particular scenario based on scientific publications, as well as experiment with real data or implement a small demonstration.
