How to integrate human factors into the motion planning system is of great significance for improving the acceptance of intelligent vehicles. Decomposing motion into primitives and then accurately and smoothly joining the motion primitives (MPs) is an essential issue in the motion planning system. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to regenerate and join the learned MPs in the library. By applying a representation algorithm based on the modified dynamic movement primitives (DMPs) and singular value decomposition (SVD), our method separates the basic shape parameters and fine-tuning shape parameters from the same type of demonstration trajectories in the MP library. Moreover, we convert the MP joining problem into a re-representation problem and use the characteristics of the proposed representation algorithm to achieve an accurate and smooth transition. This paper demonstrates that the proposed method can effectively reduce the number of shape adjustment parameters when the MPs are regenerated without affecting the accuracy of the representation. Besides, we also present the ability of the proposed method to smooth the velocity jump when the MPs are connected and evaluate its effect on the accuracy of tracking the set target points. The results show that the proposed method can not only improve the adjustment ability of a single MP in response to different motion planning requirements but also meet the basic requirements of MP joining in the generation of MP sequences.

Developing an intelligent vehicle which can perform human-like actions requires the ability to learn basic driving skills from a large amount of naturalistic driving data. The algorithms will become efficient if we could decompose the complex driving tasks into motion primitives which represent the elementary compositions of driving skills. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to segment unlabeled trajectory data into a library of motion primitives. By applying a probabilistic inference based on an iterative Expectation-Maximization algorithm, our method segments the collected trajectories while learning a set of motion primitives represented by the dynamic movement primitives. The proposed method utilizes the mutual dependencies between the segmentation and representation of motion primitives and the driving-specific based initial segmentation. By utilizing this mutual dependency and the initial condition, this paper presents how we can enhance the performance of both the segmentation and the motion primitive library establishment. We also evaluate the applicability of the primitive representation method to imitation learning and motion planning algorithms. The model is trained and validated by using the driving data collected from the Beijing Institute of Technology intelligent vehicle platform. The results show that the proposed approach can find the proper segmentation and establish the motion primitive library simultaneously.
The Institute of Measurement, Control and Microtechnology at Ulm University investigates advanced driver assistance systems for decades and concentrates in large parts on autonomous driving. It is well known that motion planning is a key technology for autonomous driving. It is first and foremost responsible for the safety of the vehicle passengers as well as of all surrounding traffic participants. However, a further task consists in providing a smooth and comfortable driving behavior. In Ulm, we have the grateful opportunity to test our algorithms under real conditions in public traffic and diversified scenarios. In this paper, we would like to give the readers an insight of our work, about the vehicle, the test track, as well as of the related problems, challenges and solutions. Therefore, we will describe the motion planning system and explain the implemented functionalities. Furthermore, we will show how our vehicle moves through public road traffic and how it deals with challenging scenarios like e.g. driving through roundabouts and intersections.
Automated driving in urban scenarios requires efficient planning algorithms able to handle complex situations in real-time. A popular approach is to use graph-based planning methods in order to obtain a rough trajectory which is subsequently optimized. A key aspect is the generation of trajectories implementing comfortable and safe behavior already during graph-search while keeping computation times low. To capture this aspect, on the one hand, a branching strategy is presented in this work that leads to better performance in terms of quality of resulting trajectories and runtime. On the other hand, admissible heuristics are shown which guide the graph-search efficiently, where the solution remains optimal.
Motion planning with constraints is an important part of many real-world robotic systems. In this work, we study manifold learning methods to learn such constraints from data. We explore two methods for learning implicit constraint manifolds from data: Variational Autoencoders (VAE), and a new method, Equality Constraint Manifold Neural Network (ECoMaNN). With the aim of incorporating learned constraints into a sampling-based motion planning framework, we evaluate the approaches on their ability to learn representations of constraints from various datasets and on the quality of paths produced during planning.
Robotic planning problems in hybrid state and action spaces can be solved by integrated task and motion planners (TAMP) that handle the complex interaction between motion-level decisions and task-level plan feasibility. TAMP approaches rely on domain-specific symbolic operators to guide the task-level search, making planning efficient. In this work, we formalize and study the problem of operator learning for TAMP. Central to this study is the view that operators define a lossy abstraction of the transition model of a domain. We then propose a bottom-up relational learning method for operator learning and show how the learned operators can be used for planning in a TAMP system. Experimentally, we provide results in three domains, including long-horizon robotic planning tasks. We find our approach to substantially outperform several baselines, including three graph neural network-based model-free approaches from the recent literature.
