Patent number: 11945472Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for improving the trajectory estimates for an object in an environment. The technique includes receiving, by at least one processor, information indicating a presence of an object operating in an environment; determining, by the at least one processor, a trajectory of the object, the trajectory including at least a position, a speed, and a direction of travel of the object; determining, by the at least one processor, an expected route of the object, wherein the expected route is pre-planned and includes an expected future position of the object at a future time; comparing the trajectory of the object to the expected route of the object; and in accordance with the comparison that the trajectory of the object is consistent with the expected route of the object, updating the trajectory of the object based on the expected route of the object.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Motional AD LLCInventors: Daniele De Francesco, Aravindkumar Vijayalingam

Patent number: 11529955Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for traffic light estimation using range sensors. A planning circuit of a vehicle traveling on a first drivable region that forms an intersection with a second drivable region receives information sensed by a range sensor of the vehicle. The information represents a movement state of an object through the intersection. A traffic signal at the intersection controls movement of objects through the intersection. The planning circuit determines a state of the traffic signal at the intersection based, in part, on the received information. A control circuit controls an operation of the vehicle based, in part, on the state of the traffic signal at the intersection.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Motional AD LLCInventors: Scott D. Pendleton, Aravindkumar Vijayalingam

Publication number: 20220371533Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for event detection. A described system includes a vehicle body containing body regions, sensors, processor, and memory. The sensors can include at least one sensor positioned about at least one body region of the body regions. The at least one body region can be associated with a region event type. The memory can store instructions thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations which can include obtaining data associated with at least one sensor measurement from the at least one sensor, determining that the at least one sensor measurement is associated with the region event type, and determining that an event associated with the region event type occurred based on determining that the at least one sensor measurement is associated with the region event type and that the at least one body region is associated with the region event type.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2021Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Ruben Strenzke, Aravindkumar Vijayalingam, Alejandro Israel Barragan Diaz

Publication number: 20200379108Abstract: Techniques for autonomous vehicle operation using acoustic modalities include using one or more acoustic sensors of a vehicle to receive acoustic waves from one or more objects. The acoustic waves have multiple wavelengths. The acoustic waves are clustered into one or more acoustic clusters based on the plurality of wavelengths. A particular acoustic cluster of the one or more acoustic clusters is selected based on signal processing of the one or more acoustic clusters. A particular object is associated with the particular acoustic cluster. An acoustic fingerprint of the particular object is generated based on the particular acoustic cluster. Characteristics of the particular object are determined based on the acoustic fingerprint of the particular object. A control circuit of the vehicle is used to operate the vehicle to avoid a collision with the particular object based on the characteristics of the particular object.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2020Publication date: December 3, 2020Inventors: Aravindkumar VIJAYALINGAM, Abhimanyu SINGH
