"Autonomous systems" as a book category encompasses works about technologies and systems that perceive, decide, and act with varying degrees of independence from direct human control. It covers technical foundations—control theory, robotics, sensing and perception, machine learning, planning, multi-agent coordination and software architectures—alongside engineering practice such as design, testing, verification, safety, and deployment. The category also includes application-focused books on self-driving cars, drones, industrial automation, service robots and smart infrastructure, as well as interdisciplinary treatments of ethics, regulation, human–machine interaction, and societal impact. Titles range from textbooks and research monographs to practical guides and popular-science overviews, serving engineers, researchers, students, policymakers and informed general readers interested in the capabilities, limitations and real-world implications of autonomous technologies.
