Presentation
Sustainable Autonomous Systems Design
DescriptionAdvances in computing power have enabled exponential growth in the design of autonomous systems. These advances have impacted every aspect of our lives, from the cars we drive, to sustainable computing, to the increased use of drones, to how public transportation is built. These autonomous systems use software and hardware to ensure the safety, usability, and energy efficiency of the products. However, there has been limited debate on the principal values and objectives that need to be considered when designing such complex systems. For example, the goal of building faster vehicles can be at odds with the need to develop a sustainable transportation system.
This panel brings together leading academic and industrial experts to debate on whether the autonomous systems being designed are targeted towards a sustainable future. The panel will address the challenges associated with the following research questions:
- 1) How do we rethink the architecture, design, development, and deployment of autonomous systems? What are the competing objectives that need to be considered when optimizing such systems?
- 2) How can academic research ensure that autonomous systems are sustainable? (From funding, to talent development, to accessibility of the research)
- 3) How can AI and big data be used to build sustainable autonomous systems? Can it be done in a sustainable manner - for example, can the training and inference be done in an energy-efficient manner to build energy-efficient autonomous systems? What are the implications to privacy?
