Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. A ferroelectric layer can be conformally grown on the fins, creating a high-quality ferroelectric layer above and below the fins. A gate can then be grown on the ferroelectric layer.

Abstract: Technologies for a transistor with a thin-film ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a transistor has a thin layer of scandium aluminum nitride (ScxAl1-xN) ferroelectric gate dielectric. The channel of the transistor may be, e.g., gallium nitride or molybdenum disulfide. In one embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization changes when voltage is applied and removed from a gate electrode, facilitating switching of the transistor at a lower applied voltage. In another embodiment, the ferroelectric polarization of a gate dielectric of a transistor changes when the voltage is past a positive threshold value or a negative threshold value. Such a transistor can be used as a one-transistor memory cell.

Abstract: Technologies for a field effect transistor (FET) with a ferroelectric gate dielectric are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a perovskite stack is grown on a buffer layer as part of manufacturing a transistor. The perovskite stack includes one or more doped semiconductor layers alternating with other lattice-matched layers, such as undoped semiconductor layers. Growing the doped semiconductor layers on lattice-matched layers can improve the quality of the doped semiconductor layers. The lattice-matched layers can be preferentially etched away, leaving the doped semiconductor layers as fins for a ribbon FET. In another embodiment, an interlayer can be deposited on top of a semiconductor layer, and a ferroelectric layer can be deposited on the interlayer. The interlayer can bridge a gap in lattice parameters between the semiconductor layer and the ferroelectric layer.

The FE material may be a perovskite material and may have a lattice parameter that is less than a lattice parameter of the semiconductor material.

Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling navigation of a vehicle are disclosed. The system will first detect a URU within a threshold distance of a drivable area that a vehicle is traversing or will traverse. The system will then receive perception information relating to the URU, and use a plurality of features associated with each of a plurality of entry points on a drivable area boundary that the URU can use to enter the drivable area to determine a likelihood that the URU will enter the drivable area from that entry point. The system will then generate a trajectory of the URU using the plurality of entry points and the corresponding likelihoods, and control navigation of the vehicle while traversing the drivable area to avoid collision with the URU.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle (AV). The methods comprise: generating candidate intentions of an actor based on a detected action of the actor and a classification associated with the actor; determining an overall probability for each candidate intention based on at least a persistence of the candidate intention over a non-interrupted sequence of cycles (where each cycle represents a time period over which the actor was sensed by a sensor); selecting candidate intention(s) based on the overall probabilities; forecasting a subsequent future intention that the actor may have after reaching a goal defined by the candidate intention(s) which was(were) selected; obtaining an actor trajectory that is consistent with the candidate intention(s) which was(were) selected and the subsequent future intention; and using the actor trajectory to influence a selected trajectory for AV.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for state identification for road actors with uncertain measurements based on compliant priors. The perception system of an autonomous vehicle (AV) may detect an object with an uncertain kinematic state based on sensor information received from a sensing device associated with the AV. A first, second, and third distribution of velocity values may be generated based on the sensor information, map information, and a kinematic state for each additional object of a plurality of additional objects in proximity to the detected object with the uncertain kinematic state, respectively. A velocity value for the detected object with the uncertain kinematic state may be generated based on a comparison of the first, second, and third distributions of velocity values. The AV may perform a driving maneuver based on the velocity value for the detected object.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for detecting and using intentions of living actors in an environment. The methods comprise: obtaining, by a computing device, perception data associated with the environment; analyzing, by the computing device, the perception data to detect any crosswalks, mobile systems and living actors that are traveling on foot in the environment; and inferring, by the computing device, an existence of (a) a first living actor who likely has a crosswalking intent when one of the mobile systems is yielding at a respective crosswalk of the crosswalks proximate to the first living actor and/or (b) a second living actor who likely has a jaywalking intent based on movements of the second living actor in relation to a nearby one of the mobile systems that is parked.

Abstract: Methods of forecasting intentions of actors that an autonomous vehicle (AV) encounters in are disclosed. The AV uses the intentions to improve its ability to predict trajectories for the actors, and accordingly making decisions about its own trajectories to avoid conflict with the actors. To do this, for any given actor the AV determines a class of the actor and detects an action that the actor is taking. The system uses the class and action to identify candidate intentions of the actor and evaluating a likelihood of each candidate intention. The system repeats this process over multiple cycles to determine overall probabilities for each of the candidate intentions. The AV's motion planning system can use the probabilities to determine likely trajectories of the actor, and accordingly influence the trajectory that the AV will itself follow in the environment.
