At one end of the spectrum, level 0 autonomous vehicles require full human control of all operation and decision making. The Society for Automotive Engineers has defined six levels of autonomy from Level 0 to Level 5. However, as we move from vehicles that are fully operated by humans to fully autonomous it’s not an all or nothing approach. After all, to have a vehicle that fully drives a human from point A to point B safely without the human ever having to get involved or take over driving, would be incredible and is something we can all imagine. When many people think of examples in the autonomous pattern they instantly think of autonomous vehicles. Even though cobots can operate in an augmented intelligence role, they’re meant to operate independently of humans even though they’re in close proximity. This is in contrast to industrial robots that are caged off and physically separated from humans. In case you’re unfamiliar with this concept, cobots are meant to operate in conjunction with, and in close proximity to humans to perform their tasks. With its ability to help with inventory forecasting, improve shipping times, and tracking, it’s easy to see why it’s talked about in a positive light around the area of logistics.Ĭollaborative bots, or cobots, are also a form of an autonomous system. It can also help businesses automatically route tickets or workflows. Autonomous systems have the ability to create legal and medical documentation, invoices, and automatically log data. We also see autonomous systems in the form of autonomous documentation and autonomous knowledge generation as well as autonomous processes and cognitive automation.


Examples of this pattern include autonomous vehicles and machines, and autonomous bots of all sorts.
