Sub-Modularity Measures for Learning and Robust Perception in Aerospace Autonomy

Onboard learning and robust perception can be generally viewed to characterize autonomy as overarching system-level properties. The complex interplay between autonomy and onboard decision support systems introduces new vulnerabilities that are extremely hard to predict with most existing guidance and control tools. In this seminar, we review some recent advances in learning-oriented and information-aware path- planning, and sub-modularity metrics for non-myopic sensor scheduling for “plug-and- play” systems. The concept of “learning-oriented” path-planning is realized through certain new classes of exploration inducing distance metrics. These technical foundations will be highlighted through aerospace applications with active learning inside dynamic and uncertain environments.
