I am pleased to announce that the special issue of the Philosophical Transaction of the Royal Society on Symbiotic Autonomous Systems, edited by Okyay Kaynak and Francesco Flammini has been published.
It makes for an interesting reading if you are working in the area of autonomous systems, as well as if you are simply curious about what they are and what their applications might be.
This is a topic that we have spearheaded at the IEEE-FDC Initiative on Symbiotic Autonomous Systems that has led to the current Digital Reality Initiative. One of the article, The winding path towards symbiotic autonomous system that I co-authored with Kathy Grise and Terence Martinez (respectively the project manager for DRI and for SAS) is recapping the motivations and the results of the FDC initiative.
You’ll find these other articles in the issue:
On the philosophical, cognitive and mathematical foundations of symbiotic autonomous systems
A model of symbiomemesis: machine education and communication as pillars for human-autonomy symbiosis
Artificial intelligence explainability: the technical and ethical dimension
Towards the realization of dynamically adaptable manufacturing automation systems
Potential for combining semantics and data analysis in the context of digital twins
Industrial applications of digital twins
The personal digital twin, ethical considerations

As you can see there is plenty of stuff to fill your vacation time. Enjoy!
