Achieving Autonomy through Design

ing blocks that are eventually evolving into a comprehensive methodology for autonomous systems design [lo]. In this article, we briefly summarize the definition of an intelligent autonomous system and requirements for achieving high autonomy. Then, model-based techniques which unify autonomous system design are preThis article discusses a high level design methodology and its support of high autonomy systems synthesis. Requirements for high autonomy as well as the design framework are briefly summarized. Then, model-based techniques which unify autonomous system design are presented. sented.
