Rise of the Autonomous Machines

Published: 01 January 2022 Publication History

Abstract

We are entering the age of autonomous machines, but many roadblocks exist on the path to make this a reality. We make a preliminary attempt at recognizing and categorizing the technical and nontechnical challenges of autonomous machines; for ten areas, we review current status, roadblocks, and potential research directions.
