Title: Perception and Decision-Making in Autonomous Intelligent Systems

Abstract: In this talk, we will review our recent advances in perception and decision-making in autonomous intelligent systems. We will first report our results in unsupervised depth estimation via deep learning in dynamic environment. Then, we will show our results adapted to different extreme conditions like night, rainy night and snow days. After giving our results in perception of complex environment, we will also present our results in decision-making of UAV for aggressive flight and collision avoidance. Finally, some concluding remarks will be provided.
