Master the Autonomy Frontier
Autonomous systems are largely self-governing and self-directed — though not completely so. Autonomous systems accomplish complex tasks with an element of human involvement ranging from monitoring to a virtual human-machine partnership. Achieving autonomy demands tremendous advances in fundamental and applied science since autonomous systems must respond to situations that were not anticipated when the system was built.
This certificate helps prepare you to work with future autonomous systems, which will require innovation in machine learning, AI, image processing, command and control, cyber security, hardware and software safety, robotics, human factors, algorithms, as well as advances in legal and ethical frameworks to guide what decisions may morally be made by a machine and under what conditions.
