Presentation

Error handling at the core: safe autonomy.

Systems fail. Is combining mechatronics and software a recipe for disaster? This presentation will look at efforts to avoid failures altogether but we recognize that they are unavoidable. This talk will present the defense-in-depth approach used in software to detect and handle failures, guaranteeing the safe operations of our USVs.
