The Road to Embodied AI

Reinhard Stolle (Co-Author: Karsten Roscher)


Building safe systems with AI – a call to action 


Since I have worked in both research and industry, and in AI and safety, I want to help strengthen the bridge between the AI community and the safety community. I will go through some examples of problems that I have encountered in practice and share some approaches

Recognition in an open world 

Deployed vision systems (robotic or otherwise) must function in an open world, where they will encounter objects that were not part of their training vocabulary. What should the system do in this case? With current systems the most we can expect is some form of out-of-domain detection. But this is not enough for safety: consider what might happen when a trained self-driving system encounters a snow plow for the first time. In this talk, I will argue that the system should go much further: it should automatically uncover novel objects and adapt the trained system to them, without a human in the loop. A key ingredient in this goal is *discovering* objects and training detectors for them autonomously from unlabeled data (e.g., by simply driving around). I will describe some of the progress we have made on this problem of open-world, unsupervised object discovery.
