  • Patent number: 11972095
    Abstract: Various embodiments discussed herein enable client applications to be heavily integrated with a voice assistant in order to perform commands associated with voice utterances of users via voice assistant functionality and also seamlessly cause client applications to automatically perform native functions as part of executing the voice utterance. Such heavy integration also allows particular embodiments to support multi-modal input from a user for a single conversational interaction. In this way, client application user interface interactions, such as clicks, touch gestures, or text inputs are executed alternative or in addition to the voice utterances.

  • Publication number: 20230357076
    Abstract: An end-to-end system for data generation, map creation using the generated data, and localization to the created map is disclosed. Mapstreams—or streams of sensor data, perception outputs from deep neural networks (DNNs), and/or relative trajectory data—corresponding to any number of drives by any number of vehicles may be generated and uploaded to the cloud. The mapstreams may be used to generate map data—and ultimately a fused high definition (HD) map—that represents data generated over a plurality of drives. When localizing to the fused HD map, individual localization results may be generated based on comparisons of real-time data from a sensor modality to map data corresponding to the same sensor modality. This process may be repeated for any number of sensor modalities and the results may be fused together to determine a final fused localization result.

  • Publication number: 20230296758
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to generating RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) point clouds based on RADAR data obtained from one or more RADAR sensors disposed on one or more ego-machines. In these or other embodiments, the RADAR point clouds may be used to generate map data. Additionally or alternatively, the RADAR point clouds may be used for performing localization.

  • Publication number: 20230296748
    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to generation of map data. In these or other embodiments, the generation of the map data may include determining whether objects indicated by the sensor data are static objects or dynamic objects. Additionally or alternatively, sensor data may be removed or included in the map data based on determinations as to whether it corresponds to static objects or dynamic objects.

  • Publication number: 20230296756
    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to generating RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging) point clouds based on RADAR data obtained from one or more RADAR sensors disposed on one or more ego-machines. In these or other embodiments, the RADAR point clouds may be communicated to a distributed map system that is configured to generate map data based on the RADAR point clouds. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, certain compression operations may be performed on the RADAR point clouds to reduce the amount of data that is communicated from the ego-machines to the map system.

  • Publication number: 20230294726
    Abstract: One or more embodiments of the present disclosure relate to aligning sensor data. In some embodiments, the aligning may be used for performing localization. In these or other embodiments, the aligning may be used for map creation.
