Point cloud has been widely used in the field of autonomous driving since it can provide a more comprehensive three-dimensional representation of the environment than 2D images. Point-wise prediction based on point cloud sequence (PCS) is an essential part of environment understanding, which can assist in the decision-making and motion-planning of autonomous vehicles. However, PCS prediction has not been deeply researched in the literature. This paper proposes a brief review of the sequential point cloud prediction methods, focusing on interactive scenarios. Firstly, we define the PCS prediction problem and introduce commonly-used frameworks. Secondly, by reviewing non-predictive problems, we analyze and summarize the spatio-temporal feature extraction methods based on PCS. On this basis, we review two types of PCS prediction tasks, scene flow estimation (SFE) and point cloud location prediction (PCLP), highlighting their connections and differences. Finally, we discuss some opening issues and point out some potential research directions.

The presence and coexistence of human operators and collaborative robots in shop-floor environments raises the need for assigning tasks to either operators or robots, or both. Depending on task characteristics, operator capabilities and the involved robot functionalities, it is of the utmost importance to design strategies allowing for the concurrent and/or sequential allocation of tasks related to object manipulation and assembly. In this paper, we extend the textsc{FlexHRC} framework presented in cite{darvish2018flexible} to allow a human operator to interact with multiple, heterogeneous robots at the same time in order to jointly carry out a given task. The extended textsc{FlexHRC} framework leverages a concurrent and sequential task representation framework to allocate tasks to either operators or robots as part of a dynamic collaboration process. In particular, we focus on a use case related to the inspection of product defects, which involves a human operator, a dual-arm Baxter manipulator from Rethink Robotics and a Kuka youBot mobile manipulator.
In this paper, we propose a new reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm, called encoding distributional soft actor-critic (E-DSAC), for decision-making in autonomous driving. Unlike existing RL-based decision-making methods, E-DSAC is suitable for situ ations where the number of surrounding vehicles is variable and eliminates the requirement for manually pre-designed sorting rules, resulting in higher policy performance and generality. We first develop an encoding distributional policy iteration (DPI) framework by embedding a permutation invariant module, which employs a feature neural network (NN) to encode the indicators of each vehicle, in the distributional RL framework. The proposed DPI framework is proved to exhibit important properties in terms of convergence and global optimality. Next, based on the developed encoding DPI framework, we propose the E-DSAC algorithm by adding the gradient-based update rule of the feature NN to the policy evaluation process of the DSAC algorithm. Then, the multi-lane driving task and the corresponding reward function are designed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Results show that the policy learned by E-DSAC can realize efficient, smooth, and relatively safe autonomous driving in the designed scenario. And the final policy performance learned by E-DSAC is about three times that of DSAC. Furthermore, its effectiveness has also been verified in real vehicle experiments.

Left-turn planning is one of the formidable challenges for autonomous vehicles, especially at unsignalized intersections due to the unknown intentions of oncoming vehicles. This paper addresses the challenge by proposing a critical turning point (CTP ) based hierarchical planning approach. This includes a high-level candidate path generator and a low-level partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) based planner. The proposed (CTP) concept, inspired by human-driving behaviors at intersections, aims to increase the computational efficiency of the low-level planner and to enable human-friendly autonomous driving. The POMDP based low-level planner takes unknown intentions of oncoming vehicles into considerations to perform less conservative yet safe actions. With proper integration, the proposed hierarchical approach is capable of achieving safe planning results with high commute efficiency at unsignalized intersections in real time.
Accurate estimation and prediction of trajectory is essential for interception of any high speed target. In this paper, an extended Kalman filter is used to estimate the current location of target from its visual information and then predict its futu re position by using the observation sequence. Target motion model is developed considering the approximate known pattern of the target trajectory. In this work, we utilise visual information of the target to carry out the predictions. The proposed algorithm is developed in ROS-Gazebo environment and is verified using hardware implementation.
Highway driving invariably combines high speeds with the need to interact closely with other drivers. Prediction methods enable autonomous vehicles (AVs) to anticipate drivers future trajectories and plan accordingly. Kinematic methods for prediction have traditionally ignored the presence of other drivers, or made predictions only for a limited set of scenarios. Data-driven approaches fill this gap by learning from large datasets to predict trajectories in general scenarios. While they achieve high accuracy, they also lose the interpretability and tools for model validation enjoyed by kinematic methods. This letter proposes a novel kinematic model to describe car-following and lane change behavior, and extends it to predict trajectories in general scenarios. Experiments on highway datasets under varied sensing conditions demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
