Workshop

Autonomous systems, such as robots and self-driving cars, have rapidly evolved over the past decades. Recently, foundation models have emerged as a promising approach to building more generalist autonomous systems due to their ability to learn from vast amounts of data and generalize to new tasks. The motivation behind this workshop is to explore the potential of foundation models for autonomous agents and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with this approach.

Autonomous Grand Challenge

The field of autonomy is rapidly evolving, and recent advancements from the machine learning community, such as large language models (LLM) and world models, bring great potential. We believe the future lies in explainable, end-to-end models that understand the world and generalize to unvisited environments. In light of this, we propose seven new challenges that push the boundary of existing perception, prediction, and planning pipelines.
