Applied autonomy

Applied autonomy refers to the practical use of autonomous systems—like self-driving cars, drones, or robotic equipment—that operate independently or with minimal human intervention. It involves designing, deploying, and managing these intelligent systems in real-world environments to improve efficiency, safety, and decision-making. Essentially, it's about taking the concept of autonomous technology and applying it effectively to solve specific problems, ensuring that these systems function reliably and ethically in practical situations across various industries.
