## Computer Science > Artificial Intelligence ## Title:Bringing AI to Autonomous Systems -- From Cognition to Collective Intelligence > Abstract:The purpose of this article is to highlight the central role of autonomous systems as the ultimate stage in the development of AI, to explain the underlying technical challenges that require a combination of connectionist AI and symbolic AI, and to integrate AI and systems engineering. We present a comprehensive framework for the design and evaluation of autonomous systems, based on a generic agent architecture that characterizes their behavior as…
