Seeking Human-Centered Autonomous Systems Capabilities in a Machine-Centered Development Environment

This paper aims to shed light on the cross-disciplinary challenges involved in the development of autonomous systems from a practice standpoint. To that end, the paper examines what aspects of human-centered autonomous systems capabilities may be difficult to achieve using a machine-centered development process, the common practice. The paper concludes with suggestions for what more may be done to enable human-centered design considerations to be more effectively infused in the development process.
