Abstract

The attendees of the Knowledge Representation and Ontologies for Autonomous Systems Symposium applied their collective intelligence in an attempt to solve one of the universe s great challenges: how do you autonomously collect garbage from an airport facility? The attendees divided into three pre-selected, cross-disciplinary groups and worked for a solid day on this activity. This article summarizes the results and findings that were reported back to the general symposium.
