Biologically-derived strategies for engineered autonomy.
Feedback Principles for the Next Generation of Autonomy
Both biological and engineered autonomy share common feedback principles, and unifying mathematical models describing these implementations improve our capability to design safe, autonomous, adaptive systems with robust performance.
