This project aims to enable autonomous robotic systems to operate more robustly and more reliably in the complex, cluttered and dynamic environments found in real-world applications. Applying the latest understanding of symmetry in non-linear systems and control provides tools that can be used to develop new design methodologies for spatial awareness algorithms. The outcomes of this project should increase Australia's capacity in high-tech systems and deliver world best open source code for spatial awareness problems to enable the next generation of automation in Australia.Read moreRead less
Robust learning of dynamic systems. Robots and other autonomous machines use models of the real world to predict the result of their actions and make decisions, but existing methods used for machine-learning are unreliable in many cases and can be easily fooled. This project aims to make machine-learning of dynamic system models reliable, accurate, and secure. The outcomes of this project will be new models and algorithms that ensure safety and increase accuracy of models learned from data. This ....Robust learning of dynamic systems. Robots and other autonomous machines use models of the real world to predict the result of their actions and make decisions, but existing methods used for machine-learning are unreliable in many cases and can be easily fooled. This project aims to make machine-learning of dynamic system models reliable, accurate, and secure. The outcomes of this project will be new models and algorithms that ensure safety and increase accuracy of models learned from data. This project will benefit robotics, control engineering, infrastructure automation, and other fields that demand the capability to model physical systems from limited data. It will also improve cybersecurity by making learning algorithms resilient to deliberate attacks with false data.Read moreRead less
