    Abstract: A scalable solution to robot behavioral navigation following natural language instructions is presented. An example of the solution includes: receiving, by a pre-trained sequential prediction model, a navigation graph of the task environment, instructions in natural language and an initial location of the robot in the navigation graph, wherein the navigation graph comprises nodes indicating locations in the task environment, coordinates of the nodes, and edges indicating connectivity between the locations; and predicting sequentially, by the pre-trained sequential prediction model, a sequence of single-step behaviors executable by the robot to navigate the robot from the initial location to a destination.

    Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of a neural network-based task planner (TaskNet) for autonomous vehicle. Given a high-level task, the TaskNet planner decomposes it into a sequence of sub-tasks, each of which is further decomposed into task primitives with specifications. TaskNet comprises a first model for predicating the global sequence of working area to cover large terrain, and a second model for determining local operation order and specifications for each operation. The neural models may include convolutional layers for extracting features from grid map-based environment representation, and fully connected layers to combine extracted features with past sequences and predict the next sub-task or task primitive. Embodiments of the TaskNet are trained using an excavation trace generator and evaluate its performance using a 3D physically-based terrain and excavator simulator. Experiment results show TaskNet may effectively learn common task decomposition strategies and generate suitable sequences of sub-tasks and task primitives.
