  • Patent number: 11525691
    Abstract: A motion planning system includes: a processor; and memory to store instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: identify a reference path between a departure point and a destination point in an environment including one or more obstacles; generate decomposition segments of a space surrounding the reference path, the decomposition segments including a first free-space segment and a second free-space segment that are devoid of the obstacles; generating a first path segment relative to the reference path for traversing the first free-space segment, and a second path segment relative to the reference path for traversing the second free-space segment; and connecting the first and second path segments to each other to generate a navigational path to traverse the environment.

  • Publication number: 20200257296
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations including: receiving perception data; calculating a first reference trajectory based on the perception data, the first reference trajectory scheduled to be executed at a start time; and generating, before the start time, a first control policy based on the first reference trajectory.

  • Publication number: 20190196499
    Abstract: Provided is a system for providing precision localization for intelligent vehicles, the system including a sensor facing downward to capture information corresponding to an intelligent vehicle below, and in a field of view of, the sensor, and a transmitter for transmitting the information captured by the sensor to the intelligent vehicle to enable the vehicle to take an action based on the information.
