Stanford Seminar - Failures & Where to Find Them: Considering Safety as a Function of Structure
Description
Autonomous systems and robots are becoming prevalent in our everyday lives and changing the foundations of our way of life. In this talk, we’ll explore the notion of structure across high-impact application domains and consider how different contexts and tasks lend themselves to different mechanisms for safety assessment. First, we will consider reasonably structured driving environments, and explore tools for efficiently finding failures in our autonomous driving systems. Then, we’ll consider scenarios where the environment is highly unstructured and clearly defining failures becomes challenging. For such tasks, we’ll explore how anomaly detection can serve as a proxy failure identification.
