**Approach Showdown: Modular vs. Holistic Autonomous Systems** In the realm of autonomous systems, two prominent approaches have emerged to tackle the complexity of designing intelligent machines: Modular and Holistic architectures. While both have their strengths, they differ fundamentally in their design philosophies, scalability, and fault tolerance. **Modular Autonomous Systems** Modular autonomous systems rely on decentralized architectures, comprising independent modules communicating through interfaces. This approach facilitates scalability and fault tolerance by allowing individual modules to be updated or replaced without affecting the entire system. Think of a robot as a collection of Lego blocks, where each block (module) can be easily swapped out or upgraded. Examples of modular autonomous systems include: - Industrial robots with interchangeable toolheads - Autonomous vehicles with swappable sensor suites - Software-defined radios with modular waveforms **Holistic ...

At the 4th annual IEEE MOST Conference, to be held in Detroit, May 4-6, 2026, I will moderate a panel on Title: "It's 2026, Is the Autonomous Driving Research still Relevant?" Overview: By 2026, the autonomous vehicle (AV) industry has moved past the initial era of "hype" into a complex phase of scaled commercialization. With robotaxi fleets operating in major urban hubs and Level 3 consumer vehicles hitting the highways, a critical question emerges for the academic and industrial communities: Is there anything left to research, or is this now purely a task of "brute-force" engineering?
