The MSU Office of Research and Economic Development hosted an Autonomous Systems Symposium on November 14, 2023, to inspire innovations in autonomous systems across air, land, and sea. A guest panel of MSU faculty and researchers shared some of the work being done in the area of Autonomous Systems and insights into the impacts and potential technologies that are driving needs for innovative paths to commercialization.

Autonomous innovations and systems refer to technologies and solutions that are designed to perform tasks, make decisions, and adapt to changing conditions without constant human input. The field of autonomous systems encompasses various domains, including robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), self-driving vehicles, drones, and more. Autonomous innovations are advancing rapidly, driven by advancements in AI, machine learning, sensor technologies, and connectivity. The Symposium provided a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities for collaboration, research, and funding related to these technologies and applications across various sectors and industries.
