Persistent Autonomy through Learning, Adaptation, Observation and Re-planning (PANDORA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Description Humankind needs a new class of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to address the new challenges that deep sea exploration and mechanization create. But autonomous robots are not very good at being autonomous. Operating in real environments, they easily get stuck, often ask for help, and generally succeed only when attempting simple tasks in well-known situations. PANDORA will develop and evaluate new computational methods to make human-built robots persistently autonomous, significantly reducing the frequency of assistance requests. The key to this is an ability to recognise failure and respond to it, at all levels of abstraction and time constant. A PANDORA AUV constantly replans, continuously questions its assumptions, and adjusts its skills to fit its immediate environment.
