Development of Autonomous Systems


Syllabus

The definition of an autonomous system and levels of autonomy, the use of autonomous systems – Unmanned aircraft.

Autonomous system: leadership and management, navigation, communication, decision making and self-diagnostics interrupt mode of operation in an emergency.

Robustness, durability, redundancy and reliability of autonomous systems.

Security of autonomous systems and their protection against unauthorized or malicious influence.

Cooperative system: autonomous system - an infrastructure network - traffic operation and management of autonomous aircraft.

Operation of autonomous systems: the conditions of the implementation and operational constraints on the implementation of the operation of autonomous systems, integrability operations of autonomous systems in general transport systems.

Certification of autonomous systems and operators of autonomous systems.

Economics of autonomous systems.

Goals and competencies

Objectives: Doctoral students demonstrate the role and importance of the development of autonomous systems. Given the appropriate understanding of individual factors and their interactions, the objective is that the doctoral student becomes capable for the most demanding development-oriented analysis on the development of autonomous systems.

Competencies: Students acquire a deeper understanding of the factors that influence on the development of autonomous systems in accordance with their purpose. From this perspective, they are trained for the operation of unmanned systems.
