Publication number: 20230399002Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine a virtual barrier around a vehicle based on receiving a first user input and data indicating a vehicle sprung mass, upon receiving a second user input selecting the virtual barrier, to determine an updated virtual barrier based on the received second user input, upon determining the virtual barrier, to verify that the virtual barrier satisfies one or more vehicle parameters; and to provide output based on the virtual barrier.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Erol Dogan Sumer, Abhishek Sharma, Mohit Srinivasan, Alexander Jaeckel, Michael Hafner, Mrdjan J.

Publication number: 20230373471Abstract: A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive sensor data indicating an obstacle, formulate a control barrier function for a vehicle and the obstacle based on the sensor data, determine a control input based on the control barrier function and a combination function, and actuate a component of the vehicle according to the control input. The combination function is a sum of a first function weighted by a first weight and a second function weighted by a second weight, and the first weight and the second weight are based on a kinematic state of the obstacle.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2022Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Abhishek Sharma, Michael Hafner, Mohit Srinivasan, Mrdjan J.

Publication number: 20230074148Abstract: A controller for controlling a motion of at least one device subject to constraints on the motion, is disclosed. The controller comprises a processor and a memory, where the controller inputs parameters of the task including the state of the at least one device to a neural network trained to output an estimated motion trajectory for performing the task. Further, the controller extracts at least some of the integer values of a solution to a mixed-integer optimization problem for planning an execution of the task that results in the estimated motion trajectory. Further, the controller solves the mixed-integer optimization problem for the parameters of the task with corresponding integer values fixed to the extracted integer values to produce an optimized motion trajectory subject to the constraint and changes the state of the at least one device to track the optimized motion trajectory.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicants: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Inc., Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Stefano Di Cairano, Ankush Chakrabarty, Rien Quirynen, Mohit Srinivasan, Nobuyuki Yoshikawa, Toshisada Mariyama

Patent number: 10466760Abstract: An energy allocation system may include a group of agents, each agent corresponding to a device requesting an amount of energy. The energy allocation system may perform a comparison, such as a hybridized comparison, between a selected agent and each other agent included in the group. Based on the outcome of each comparison for the selected agent, an aggregated outcome for the selected agent is determined. The aggregated outcome for the selected agent is compared to a threshold for the energy allocation system. Based on the comparison of the aggregated outcome to the threshold, the selected agent either receives the requested amount of energy or receives an instruction to enter a low-power state.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2018Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Landis+Gyr Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Mohit Srinivasan, David Decker
