In the first week of October 2022 OpenDR project which CIDL group coordinates organised the Summer School “Continuous Engineering and Deep Learning for Trustworthy Autonomous Systems” in collaboration with FOCETA H2020 research project. The summer school was held in the premises of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki from 3 to 7 October and was attended by many deep learning and autonomous systems enthusiasts.

Various interesting talks/invited talks relevant to OpenDR’s research fields were given, with topics such as: “DL for Object Detection/Tracking 3D”, “Robotic Grasping for Agile Production”, “Robotic Simulation Environments”, as well as talks relevant to FOCETA project’s research subject, such as ”Continuous Engineering of Trustworthy Autonomy”, “DNN Robustness and Resiliency Approaches”, “Formal Methods for Safe and Accountable AI” etc. The majority of the talks were given by OpenDR and FOCETA project partners, while there were also invited talks that were given.

In the last day of the summer school, a hands-on workshop took place, during which, AUTH team showcased the use of different tools of the OpenDR toolkit. The workshop attendees had the opportunity to participate simultaneously, by following the tutorials using their notebooks. Furthermore, certificates of attendance were provided to the participants after the end of the summer school.
