    Autonomous machines, like robots and self-driving cars, are machines that perform behaviors or tasks with a high degree of autonomy (without, or with minimal external influence). Such machines operate and cooperate in the real world while coping with unpredictable external phenomena and error-prone technology. We model any autonomous machine as a cyber-physical system controlled by universal processors implementing so-called minimal machine consciousness, minimal machine experience, and minimal machine understanding. In the talk, we present in more detail the respective model, define and justify our machine versions of consciousness, experience, and understanding and indicate their computational realization. We argue that endowing the systems with all these cognitive feats leads to more trustworthy, safer, and more reliable systems, by increasing their behavioral flexibility and autonomy in varying environments and by strengthening their resilience to operation or cooperation failures of their components or as a whole. The talk is based on joint research with Jan van Leeuwen, Utrecht, NL.
