Abstract: Autonomous vehicle operations use learned constraints over beliefs to traverse a vehicle transportation network. Sensor data and user demonstration data are used to determine a belief path using a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) model. The belief path can be updated based on the learned constraints. Candidate actions are determined based on the POMDP model. The candidate actions are constrained by the updated belief path. An action is selected, and the vehicle traverses the vehicle network using the selected action.

Abstract: A vehicle door assembly includes portions of a vehicle body structure that define an opening, a window and a movement mechanism. The window is movably connected to the vehicle body structure. The window is configured to move between a closed position at least partially closing the opening and an open position exposing the opening such that the window is at least partially disposed between a body member of the vehicle body structure and a trim element of the vehicle body structure. The movement mechanism has a movable member and a glass attachment structure attached to the movable member for pivotal movement with respect thereto. The movement mechanism is installed between the trim element and the body member and is configured to move the movable member and the window between the closed position and the open position.

Abstract: An end effector is disclosed that is configured for connection to a robotic unit used to manipulate a door of a vehicle (e.g., during vehicle painting). The end effector includes a base plate; a sensor that is supported by the base plate; and a piston that is configured for engagement with the door. The piston is operatively connected to an interrupter such that movement (displacement) of the piston causes corresponding movement (displacement) of the interrupter between a first position, in which the interrupter is positioned in alignment with a signal transmitted across the sensor to interfere with the signal and thereby interrupt circuit completion, and a second position, in which the interrupter is out of alignment with the signal transmitted across the sensor to permit circuit completion and thereby inform the robotic unit that the door is present and engaged with the end effector.

Abstract: A light assembly for a vehicle includes a light bar, a projector and an end cap. The light bar is configured to be connected to a vehicle. An end cap is connected to an end of the light bar. The projector is rotatably connected to the light bar. The projector is configured to be rotatable relative to the end cap. The projector is configured to be axially movable relative to the end cap between a first position and a second position. Rotation of the projector relative to the end cap is prevented when the projector is in the first position. The projector is rotatable relative to the end cap when the projector is in the second position.

Abstract: Vehicle control using map-based braking includes receiving, while a driver is operating the vehicle to traverse a vehicle transportation network, vehicle operation information including at least a current speed of the vehicle, retrieving, from a planned path of an in-vehicle navigation system, an upcoming turn in a current road when the driver is using the in-vehicle navigation system, and retrieving from map data, the upcoming turn in the current road when the driver is not using tin-vehicle navigation system. Thereafter, it is determined whether, during the upcoming turn, wheels of the vehicle will maintain contact with a road surface at the current speed. A braking instruction is issued to a control system of the vehicle responsive to whether the wheels of the vehicle will maintain contact with the road surface at the current speed.
