    摘要: A system is controlled using particle filter executed to estimate weights of a set of particles based on fitting of the particles into a measurement model, wherein a particle includes a motion model of the system having an uncertainty modeled as a Gaussian process over possible motion models of the system and a state of the system determined with the uncertainty of the motion model of the particle, wherein a distribution of the Gaussian process of the motion model of one particle is different from a distribution of the Gaussian process of the motion model of another particle. Each execution of the particle filter updates the state of the particle according to a control input to the system and the motion model of the particle with the uncertainty and determines particle weights by fitting the state of the particle in the measurement model subject to measurement noise.

    摘要: Systems and methods for an imaging system having a memory with a historical localization dictionary database having geo-located driving image sequences, such that each reference image is applied to a threshold to produce a binary representation. A sensor to acquire a sequence of input images of a dynamic scene. An encoder to determine, for each input image in the sequence, a histogram of each input image indicating a number of vertical edges at each bin of the input image and to threshold the histogram to produce a binary representation of the input image. A visual odometer to compare the binary representations of each input image and each reference image, by matching an input image against a reference image. Wherein the visual odometer determines a location of the input image based on a match between the input image and the reference image.

    摘要: A method controls a motion of a vehicle using a model of the motion of the vehicle that includes an uncertainty. The method samples a control space of possible control inputs to the model of the motion of the vehicle to produce a set of sampled control inputs and determines a probability of each sampled control input to move the vehicle into state satisfying constraints on the motion of the vehicle. The method determines, using the probabilities of the sampled control inputs, a control input having the probability to move the vehicle in the state above a threshold. The control input is mapped to a control command to at least one actuator of the vehicle to control the motion of the vehicle.

    摘要: A probabilistic feedback controller for controlling an operation of a robotic system using a probabilistic filter subject to a structural constraint on an operation of the robotic system is configured to execute a probabilistic filter estimates a distribution of a current state of the robotic system given a previous state of the robotic system based on a motion model of the robotic system perturbed by stochastic process noise and a measurement model of the robotic system perturbed by stochastic measurement noise having an uncertainty modeled as a time-varying Gaussian process represented as a weighted combination of time-varying basis functions with weights defined by corresponding Gaussian distributions. The probabilistic filter recursively updates both the distribution of the current state of the robotic system and the Gaussian distributions of the weights of the basis functions selected to satisfy the structural constraint indicated by measurements of the state of a robotic system.

    摘要: Stochastic nonlinear model predictive control (SNMPC) allows to directly take uncertainty of the dynamics and/or of the system's environment into account, e.g., by including probabilistic chance constraints. However, SNMPC requires the approximate computation of the probability distributions for the state variables that are propagated through the nonlinear system dynamics. This invention proposes the use of Gaussian-assumed density filters (ADF) to perform high-accuracy propagation of mean and covariance information of the state variables through the nonlinear system dynamics, resulting in a tractable SNMPC approach with improved control performance. In addition, the use of a matrix factorization for the covariance matrix variables in the constrained optimal control problem (OCP) formulation guarantees positive definiteness of the full trajectory of covariance matrices in each iteration of any optimization algorithm. Finally, a tailored adjoint-based sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is described that considerably reduces the computational cost and allows a real-time feasible implementation of the proposed ADF-based SNMPC method to control nonlinear dynamical systems under uncertainty.

    摘要: A stochastic model predictive controller (SMPC) estimates a current state of the system and a probability distribution of uncertainty of a parameter of dynamics of the system based on measurements of outputs of the system, and updates a control model of the system including a function of dynamics of the system modeling the uncertainty of the parameter with first and second order moments of the estimated probability distribution of uncertainty of the parameter. The SMPC determines a control input to control the system by optimizing the updated control model of the system at the current state over a prediction horizon and controls the system based on the control input to change the state of the system.
