  • Simulation-based training of an autonomous vehicle
    Patent number: 12422791
    Abstract: A controller for an autonomous vehicle is trained using simulated paths on a roadway and simulated observations that are formed by transforming images previously acquired on similar paths on that roadway. Essentially an unlimited number of paths may be simulated, enabling optimization approaches including reinforcement learning to be applied to optimize the controller.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 11, 2021
    Date of Patent: September 23, 2025
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Daniela Rus, Sertac Karaman, Igor Gilitschenski, Alexander Amini, Julia Moseyko, Jacob Phillips
