Abstract: An apparatus and methods for training and/or operating a robotic device to perform a composite task comprising a plurality of subtasks. Subtasks may be arranged in a hierarchy. Individual tasks of the hierarchy may be operated by a respective learning controller. Individual learning controllers may interface to appropriate components of feature extractor configured to detect features in sensory input. Individual learning controllers may be trained to produce activation output based on occurrence of one or more relevant features and using training input. Output of a higher level controller may be provided as activation indication to one or more lower level controllers. Inactive activation indication may be utilized to deactivate one or more components thereby improving operational efficiency. Output of a given feature extractor may be shared between two or more learning controllers.

Abstract: In a driving support device for a vehicle including a collision avoidance support system and a lane travel support system, a steering control amount is set while maintaining an appropriate relationship between both of the systems. This is by setting a lower upper limit value for the steering torque command during collision avoidance as compared to lane travel support. However, a gradient (i.e., rate of change) of the collision avoidance is set to be greater than a gradient of the lane travel support. As a result, the driving support device balances collision avoidance and lane travel support to have quick response during collision avoidance, and maintaining the ability to adapt to wide changes in road condition during lane travel support.

Abstract: A global navigation satellite sensor system (GNSS) and gyroscope control system for vehicle steering control comprising a GNSS receiver and antennas at a fixed spacing to determine a vehicle position, velocity and at least one of a heading angle, a pitch angle and a roll angle based on carrier phase position differences. The system also includes a control system configured to receive the vehicle position, heading, and at least one of roll and pitch, and configured to generate a steering command to a vehicle steering system. The system includes gyroscopes for determining system attitude change with respect to multiple axes for integrating with GNSS-derived positioning information to determine-vehicle position, velocity, rate-of-turn, attitude and other operating characteristics. Relative orientations and attitudes between motive and working components can be determined using optical sensors and cameras. The system can also be used to guide multiple vehicles in relation to each other.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product creates an unimpeded pathway on a roadway for a first self-driving vehicle (SDV). One or more processor(s) determine a first vehicle priority level of the first SDV by determining that a current planned destination of the first SDV is a health care facility, an electronic calendar has no appointment entry on a current date for a passenger of the SDV at the health care facility, and thus the passenger is making an emergency visit to the health care facility. The processor(s) determine that the first vehicle priority level is higher than the other vehicle priority levels. The processor(s) then direct SDV on-board computers on other SDVs to adjust spacing distances between the other SDVs, such that adjusted spacing distances between the SDVs provide a pathway including unobstructed lane changes for the first SDV, permitting the first SDV to maneuver in an unimpeded manner.

Abstract: An apparatus and methods for training and/or operating a robotic device to follow a trajectory. A robotic vehicle may utilize a camera and stores the sequence of images of a visual scene seen when following a trajectory during training in an ordered buffer. Motor commands associated with a given image may be stored. During autonomous operation, an acquired image may be compared with one or more images from the training buffer in order to determine the most likely match. An evaluation may be performed in order to determine if the image may correspond to a shifted (e.g., left/right) version of a stored image as previously observed. If the new image is shifted left, right turn command may be issued. If the new image is shifted right then left turn command may be issued.
