Motion Prediction for Autonomous Devices

Abstract:

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the motion prediction and operation of a device including a vehicle are provided. For example, a vehicle computing system can access state data including information associated with locations and characteristics of objects over a plurality of time intervals. Trajectories of the objects at subsequent time intervals following the plurality of time intervals can be determined based on the state data and a machine-learned tracking and kinematics model. The trajectories of the objects can include predicted locations of the objects at subsequent time intervals that follow the plurality of time intervals. Further, the predicted locations of the objects can be based on physical constraints of the objects. Furthermore, indications, which can include visual indications, can be generated based on the predicted locations of the objects at the subsequent time intervals.
