We are happy to announce the half-day workshop "*Reliable AI for Marine Robotics: Challenges and Opportunities*" at the conference *IROS 2021 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iros2021.org%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGmyETkNr2xelYCVwKgO8AMBM6-mg>* .
It will be an online event on October 1st, from 16:00 to 18:00 CET. This workshop will bring together recognized *robotics AI*, *software reliability*, and *safety expert*s. More specifically, this workshop will focus on underwater robotics AI methods with quantified reliability, correctness specs, models, tests, and analysis & verification methods. The *experts both from academia* and *industry* will discuss some basic questions; such as: i) *Can we rely on AI-controlled underwater robots?* *ii) *What are the requirements for* future applications* of underwater robotics and the development methods for safe and reliable autonomy? iii) *What happens in the brain of AI-based robots* operating underwater? The experts in the workshop will focus on various interdisciplinary research activities in: *(i) computer vision *and* machine learning*; *(ii) knowledge*,* reasoning*, and *planning*; *(iii) testing*,* model-driven-engineering, bug finding*; *(iv) verification *and* model-checking.* The ultimate goal of this workshop is to understand both the challenges of underwater robotics and the development methods for safe and reliable autonomy. Since both AI and underwater robotics have increasing interest, we believe this workshop will attract attention both from academia and industry and help researchers to consider the reliable autonomy for underwater robotics holistically.
