This workshop aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss the challenges involved in deployed autonomous systems, particularly systems that operate in the presence of minor perturbations or noise in the environment, and under model imprecision and uncertainty. The workshop will offer a forum for researchers to discuss progress, identify knowledge gaps, and learn from case studies in robust and reliable decision-making, drawing on a wide range of methods, including automated planning, reinforcement learning, decision-theory, formal verification, multi-agent systems, game theory, robotics, AI ethics, and human factors.
