Differences between Industrial Models of Autonomy and Systemic Models of Autonomy

TL;DR

This paper compares industrial models of system autonomy with systemic models, highlighting differences in how autonomy levels and maturity are understood across technical and organic systems.

Contribution

It introduces a comparative analysis of industrial and systemic models of autonomy, revealing key distinctions and implications for system development.

Findings

Industrial and systemic models differ in their approach to autonomy levels.

The comparison uncovers gaps in how maturity is assessed.

Insights could inform better design and evaluation of autonomous systems.

Abstract

This paper discusses the idea of levels of autonomy of systems - be this technical or organic - and compares the insights with models employed by industries used to describe maturity and capability of their products.
