  • Publication number: 20200192391
    Abstract: Techniques for operation of a vehicle using machine learning with motion planning include storing, using one or more processors of a vehicle located within an environment, a plurality of constraints for operating the vehicle within the environment. One or more sensors of the vehicle receive sensor data describing the environment. The one or more processors extract a feature vector from the stored plurality of constraints and the received sensor data. The feature vector includes a first feature describing an object located within the environment. A machine learning circuit of the vehicle is used to generate a first motion segment based on the feature vector. A number of violations of the stored plurality of constraints is below a threshold. The one or more processors operate the vehicle in accordance with the generated first motion segment.

  • Publication number: 20200189575
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for operation of a vehicle using multiple motion constraints. The techniques include identifying an object using one or more processors of a vehicle. The vehicle has a likelihood of collision with the object that is greater than a threshold. The processors generate multiple motion constraints for operating the vehicle. At least one motion constraint includes a minimum speed of the vehicle greater than zero to avoid a collision of the vehicle with the object. The processors identify one or more motion constraints for operating the vehicle to avoid a collision of the vehicle with the object. The processors operate the vehicle in accordance with the identified motion constraints.
