Description – One of the fastest growing industries in the past five years is at the intersection of AI, Robotics, and Computer Vision. In particular, Silicon Valley has become a hotbed for research and commercialization of autonomous driving. Leading logistics and retail corporations have started delivering packages via unmanned aerial vehicles. Collaborative robot arms and legs are being experimented in compliant co-working applications. In this Capstone Design Experience Proposal, we will describe the above related topics under the broad umbrella name of Autonomy. 

Due to the multidisciplinary nature of Autonomy and its emerging markets, we believe prospective MEng applicants will have broad interest in selecting Autonomy curriculum and its capstone project. The FHL Vive Center is proposing a concerted effort by its center members to spearhead the creation of a new Capstone Design Experience at the Fung Institute.
