Abstract
I will discuss recent work where it was demonstrated that regular black holes emerge as the unique spherically symmetric solutions to certain gravitational actions that incorporate infinite towers of higher-derivative corrections. I will then illustrate what happens when one considers the collapse of spherical thin shells and dust in these theories, showing that the collapse is generically non-singular. This is based on work with Pablo Bueno, Pablo Cano and Ángel Murcia.
