  Autonomous systems are highly complex and present unique challenges for the
application of formal methods. Autonomous systems act without human
intervention, and are often embedded in a robotic system, so that they can
interact with the real world. As such, they exhibit the properties of
safety-critical, cyber-physical, hybrid, and real-time systems.
  The goal of FMAS is to bring together leading researchers who are tackling
the unique challenges of autonomous systems using formal methods, to present
recent and ongoing work. We are interested in the use of formal methods to
specify, model, or verify autonomous or robotic systems; in whole or in part.
We are also interested in successful industrial applications and potential
future directions for this emerging application of formal methods.
