Multistep Belief Space Dynamics Learning For Risk-Aware Control
As autonomous vehicles move from a simplified research setting to practical use, there exists a large gap between the dynamic behavior of a human driving and an autonomous system. Risk-aware behavior needs to naturally develop in order to scale to the demands of the real world. A major issue for risk-aware planning and control has been predicting how dynamical uncertainty evolves through time and optimizing plans that account for this without being overly conservative. Here, we present a learning framework to predict distributional dynamics that can be optimized in real time for Model Predictive Control (MPC). We explore the importance of structure when learning distributional dynamics for use in MPC. A rigorous ablation study is conducted on a large dataset of real world off-road driving that shows the impact of deviations from our proposed structure. Furthermore, we deploy our learned model and planning stack on a full sized vehicle in challenging off-road conditions. Our planning architecture is able to naturally regulate the speed of the vehicle based on the environment and consistently demonstrates intelligent behavior over miles of diverse terrain.

Many safety-critical control systems operate under latent uncertainty that sensors cannot resolve at decision time. Such uncertainty, arising from unknown physical properties, disturbances, or unobserved geometry, affect…
Multistep Inverse Is Not All You Need
In real-world control settings, the observation space is often unnecessarily high-dimensional and subject to time-correlated noise. However, the controllable dynamics of the system are often far simpler than the dynamics…
