Robotics
Autonomous vehicle
An autonomous vehicle is a road motor vehicle equipped with an automated driving system capable of performing part or all of the dynamic driving task without continuous human control, depending on the system’s defined operational design domain. Modern deployments range from advanced driver-assistance features to Level 4 driverless robotaxis operating in limited areas, supported by evolving safety standards and regulatory frameworks in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Foundation Models
Foundation models are large‑scale AI systems trained on broad, predominantly self‑supervised data and adapted to many downstream tasks. Coined in 2021 by Stanford’s Center for Research on Foundation Models, they exhibit emergent capabilities and drive homogenization across AI applications.
