  • Patent number: 12365361
    Abstract: A system obtains scene context data characterizing the environment. The scene context data includes data that characterizes a trajectory of an agent in a vicinity of a vehicle up to a current time point. The system identifies a plurality of initial target locations, and generates, for each of a plurality of target locations that each corresponds to one of the initial target locations, a respective predicted likelihood score that represents a likelihood that the target location will be an intended final location for a future trajectory of the agent. For each target location in a first subset of the target locations, the system generates a predicted future trajectory for the agent given that the target location is the intended final location for the future trajectory. The system further selects, as likely future trajectories of the agent, one or more of the predicted future trajectories.

  • Publication number: 20250169038
    Abstract: Embodiments presented herein include systems and methods for cooling a device, such as a computing system for an autonomous vehicle. In one or more embodiments, a linear drive actuator may be employed to circulate cooling fluid (or coolant) to the computing system. Unlike typical hydraulic or linear actuators, embodiments herein are capable of consistent directional circulation of the fluid while the actuator is moving in both forward and backward directions. Using a linear actuator not only uses fewer parts as compared to current cooling systems, but such embodiments have additional benefits. A linear actuator cooling system can use a smaller motor than traditional pump cooling systems, has more control relative to rate and pressure, produces less noise, produces fewer vibrations, and has a longer lifespan. Embodiments may also be configured to facilitate circulation of the coolant even in the event of a controller or motor actuator malfunction.

  • Publication number: 20240403285
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for providing interpretability for multivariate time-series data anomaly detection. The multivariate time-series data anomaly detection is performed, through a multivariate time-series data anomaly detection model, for a multivariate time-series data formed by multiple time-series data. An anomaly detection result indicating at least an anomaly period is obtained from the model. An anomaly period correlation metric of the multiple time-series data in the anomaly period is determined. A trace-back period correlation metric of the multiple time-series data in a trace-back period before the anomaly period is determined. At least one time-series data pair having abnormal correlation in the anomaly period is identified from the multiple time-series data, based on a difference between the anomaly period correlation metric and the trace-back period correlation metric.

  • Patent number: 12066525
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to techniques for three dimensional (3D) object detection and localization. A computing system may cause a radar unit to transmit radar signals and receive radar reflections relative to an environment of a vehicle. Based on the radar reflections, the computing system may determine a heading and a range for a nearby object. The computing system may also receive an image depicting a portion of the environment that includes the object from a vehicle camera and remove peripheral areas of the image to generate an image patch that focuses upon the object based on the heading and the range for the object. The image patch and the heading and the range for the object can be provided as inputs into a neural network that provides output parameters corresponding to the object, which can be used to control the vehicle.
