DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present my research on intelligent autono
 mous systems for extreme environments. In particular\, I will discuss the 
 open problems and research opportunities that I have identified through my
  work on three ambitious projects funded by industry and Innovate UK withi
 n the program “Robotics and AI: Inspect\, Maintain and Repair in Extreme E
 nvironments”. MIMRee is the world’s first fully autonomous multi-robot pla
 tform for inspecting\, maintaining\, and repairing off-shore wind turbines
 \; the Connect-R system features self-building modular robots for nuclear 
 decommissioning\; and the Prometheus drone is a fully autonomous reconfigu
 rable robot for geotechnical surveys in unknown voids. Although these proj
 ects target different domains and have different final goals\, they share 
 a set of challenges that need to be overcome to bring AI and robotics to f
 ull fruition in sophisticated missions in challenging settings. This talk 
 will highlight how we have progressed towards this objective and deployed 
 our systems in representative real-world environments.BioSara Bernardini i
 s a professor of Artificial Intelligence at Royal Holloway University of L
 ondon. In 2018/19\, she was also a visiting professor at MIT and previousl
 y held positions at King’s College London\, UCL\, FBK\, and NASA Ames Rese
 arch Center. Her research focuses on designing intelligent autonomous syst
 ems for complex\, real-world applications and lies at the intersection bet
 ween different areas: AI\, advanced robotics\, and mathematical optimisati
 on. She has extensive experience in building cutting-edge AI technology fo
 r extreme environments. She has worked in several domains such as space op
 erations\, nuclear decommissioning\, mining\, underwater missions\, and of
 fshore energy. Prof Bernardini is currently a co-PI of three ambitious pro
 jects funded by industry and the UK’s Innovation Agency: VersaTile (Transf
 orming warehousing and distribution with industry-leading AI planning and 
 system controls)\, SoAR (Squad of Adaptive Robots)\, and Demeter (Intellig
 ence Scavenging)\, the last two funded within the programme “Robots for a 
 Safer World”. Before\, she was the co-PI of three other large projects wit
 hin the same programme: Connect-R\, MIMRee\, and Prometheus. Prof Bernardi
 ni’s research has been regularly published in top-ranked AI and robotics j
 ournals and conferences\, such as AIJ\, JAIR\, RA-L\, TOCHI\, IROS\, and I
 CAPS. Her paper ‘Through the Lens of Sequence Submodularity’ received the 
 ICAPS-2020 Best Paper Honourable Mention Award. Prof Bernardini was an App
 lication Track Co-Chair for ICAPS-2020 and the General Chair for the 3rd S
 ummer School in Cognitive Robotics. She will be an Associate Program Chair
  for AAAI-2023.
