  • Method and computer system for multi-level control of motion actuators in an autonomous vehicle
    Patent number: 12767179
    Abstract: A computer system for controlling at least one motion actuator in an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle, the computer system comprising processing circuitry implementing a feedback controller, which is configured to sense an actual motion state of the vehicle and determine a machine-level instruction to the motion actuator for approaching or maintaining a setpoint motion state, and a reinforcement-learning agent, which is trained to perform decision-making regarding the setpoint motion state. The decisions by the reinforcement-learning agent are applied as the setpoint motion state of the feedback controller, and the machine-level instruction from the feedback controller is applied to the motion actuator.
