autonomiclike
Autonomiclike is a descriptor used in engineering, artificial intelligence, and systems theory to refer to systems that regulate their internal state and respond to environmental conditions without direct external commands, in a way that resembles the autonomic functions of the human body. The term emphasizes distributed control, self-regulation, and robustness rather than centralized instruction.
Core ideas of autonomiclike systems include decentralized decision making, feedback-driven control loops, redundancy, and self-learning. Such
Common domains for autonomiclike approaches include autonomous robotics, industrial process control, smart buildings, and neuromorphic or
Autonomiclike approaches are not identical to biological autonomic regulation. They lack organic feedback loops and are
