Advancing autonomy through lifelong learning: a survey of autonomous intelligent systems

Abstract

The combination of lifelong learning algorithms with autonomous intelligent systems (AIS) is gaining popularity due to its ability to enhance AIS performance, but the existing summaries in related fields are insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically analyze the research on lifelong learning algorithms with autonomous intelligent systems, aiming to gain a better understanding of the current progress in this field. This paper presents a thorough review and analysis of the relevant work on the integration of lifelong learning algorithms and autonomous intelligent systems. Specifically, we investigate the diverse applications of lifelong learning algorithms in AIS's domains such as autonomous driving, anomaly detection, robots, and emergency management, while assessing their impact on enhancing AIS performance and reliability. The challenging problems encountered in lifelong learning for AIS are summarized based on a profound understanding in literature review. The advanced and innovative development of lifelong learning algorithms for autonomous intelligent systems are discussed for offering valuable insights and guidance to researchers in this rapidly evolving field.
