  • Publication number: 20190278698
    Abstract: A method for providing simulation testing. The method may include receiving a customer request to generate a virtual environment for testing a robot of the customer. The virtual environment may be automatically generated by a service provider in accordance with the request. The customer may interface with the virtual environment of the service provider to iteratively test the robot in the virtual environment. This testing may generate simulation results that reflect interactions between the robot and the virtual environment. The simulation results may be communicated from the service provider to the customer. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20190271614
    Abstract: A method for generating high-value test scenarios for autonomous vehicles. The method includes identifying multiple scenarios, each associated with a location on a road network. An injury value may be determined for each of the scenarios, and the scenarios and their associated injury values may be stored in a database. A desired location for testing an autonomous vehicle may be selected. At least one of the scenarios associated with the desired location and having an associated injury value that exceeds a predetermined threshold may be identified in the database. A virtual reality test environment may then be generated for the autonomous vehicle based on the at least one scenario. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.
