- Abstract: The increasing complexity and unpredictability of many ICT scenarios let us
envision that future systems will have to dynamically learn how to act and
adapt to face evolving situations with little or no a priori knowledge, both at
the level of individual components and at the collective level. In other words,
such systems should become able to autonomously develop models of themselves
and of their environment. Autonomous development includes: learning models of
own capabilities; learning how to act purposefully towards the achievement of
specific goals; and learning how to act collectively, i.e., accounting for the
presence of others. In this paper, we introduce the vision of autonomous
development in ICT systems, by framing its key concepts and by illustrating
suitable application domains. Then, we overview the many research areas that
are contributing or can potentially contribute to the realization of the
vision, and identify some key research challenges.

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of autotelic Reinforcement Learning (RL), emphasizing the role of intrinsic motivations in the open-ended formation of skill repertoires.
We delineate the distinctions between knowledge-based and competence-based intrinsic motivations, illustrating how these concepts inform the development of autonomous agents capable of generating and pursuing self-defined goals.

Modern civilian and military systems have created a demand for sophisticated intelligent autonomous machines.
These newer forms of intelligent autonomy raise questions about when/how communication of the operational intent and assessments of actual capabilities of autonomous agents impact overall performance.
This symposium examines the possibilities for enabling intelligent autonomous systems to self-assess and communicate their ability to effectively execute assigned tasks.

Interdependencies [64.0476282000118]
Intrinsic motivations have proven to generate a task-agnostic signal to properly allocate the training time amongst goals.
While the majority of works in the field of intrinsically motivated open-ended learning focus on scenarios where goals are independent from each other, only few of them studied the autonomous acquisition of interdependent tasks.
In particular, we first deepen the analysis of a previous system, showing the importance of incorporating information about the relationships between tasks at a higher level of the architecture.
Then we introduce H-GRAIL, a new system that extends the previous one by adding a new learning layer to store the autonomously acquired sequences
