Resume:
1.- Autonomous robots can explore extreme environments like caves and glaciers, and inspect critical infrastructure.
2.- Demo: Legged robot and drone working together to explore a two-compartment area on stage.
3.- Robots rely on onboard sensors like laser scanners, radars, accelerometers, gyroscopes and vision systems.
4.- 3D model reconstructed by robot shows the small compartment and overall room.
5.- Safety pilot present but not actively intervening unless needed.
6.- Robots not given prior information about the environment.
7.- Moravec's paradox: What's hard for humans is easy for AI/robots and vice versa.
8.- Humans generalize well, understand risk, remain resourceful despite uncertainty and disturbances.
9.- Goal is to instill resilience across the robot technology stack.
10.- Sensing: How robot perceives environment with various sensors.
