This document describes motion planning with variable grid resolution for graph-search-based planning. An example system includes a processor that obtains an initial pose, a goal pose, and an obstacle map for an environment. The processor uses a motion-planning algorithm to determine a path or trajectory using two or more grid resolutions for a graph-based search. The path includes a series of waypoints, including two-dimensional positional coordinates (and time coordinates if a trajectory), to navigate from the initial pose towards the goal pose. Operation of the host vehicle is then controlled to maneuver along the path using an assisted-driving or autonomous-driving system. In this way, motion planning is performed for the entire path but uses a coarser grid resolution for the portion nearer the goal pose. This allows motion planning for autonomous parking, especially in environments that include static and dynamic objects, to be handled in a more computationally-efficient manner.

Trajectory Planning in a Three-Dimensional Search Space with a Space-Time Artificial Potential Field
This document describes trajectory planning in a three-dimensional (3D) search space with a space-time artificial potential field. An example system includes a processor that obtains an initial pose, a goal pose, and an obstacle map for an environment. The processor uses a parking trajectory algorithm to determine a trajectory by searching in a space-time artificial potential field. The trajectory includes a series of 3D waypoints, including two-dimensional (2D) positional coordinates and time coordinates, to navigate from the initial pose towards the goal pose. Operation of the host vehicle is then controlled to maneuver along the trajectory using an assisted-driving or autonomous-driving system. In this way, path searching is performed in the entire 3D search space rather than iterating between two 2D search planes. This allows motion planning for autonomous parking, especially with static and dynamic objects present, to determine an optimal trajectory in a single iteration.
Described herein is NLS using a bounded linear initial search space and a fixed grid with pre-calculated variables. Specifically, first and second signals with unknown first and second elevation angles, respectively, are received that have been reflected by an object, with the second signal also having been reflected off the ground. A line of second angles is then established as a function of first angles, a sensor height, and a range to the object. The first angles being bound by a function of the sensor height and the range and a function of the sensor height, the range, and the maximum height. A search algorithm is then used to search for an initial elevation angle pair along the line. The initial elevation angle pair may then be fed into a refinement algorithm (e.g., non-linear least squares) to determine the elevation angles associated with the first and second signals.

An initial first elevation angle corresponding to a direct reflection from an object and an initial second elevation angle corresponding to a multi-path reflection from the object are received along with a grid comprising pre-calculated variables for each of a plurality of grid points. The initial elevation angle pair is then refined by, for a plurality of iterations, determining a closest grid point to a current elevation angle pair and performing a non-linear least squares iteration on the closest grid point using the pre-calculated variables for the closest grid point to determine a next elevation angle pair. When the iterations have converged, a height of the object is calculated based on a final elevation angle pair.

External Sensing for Monitoring Health of Vehicle Electric Energy Storage
This document describes external sensing for passively monitoring health of vehicle electric energy storage. Techniques for relying on measurements reported from sensors arranged external to an energy storage device (ESD) are described. Overall health of the ESD is inferred without relying on charging circuits or self-diagnosing on the ESD. External measurements (e.g., capacitive, inductance, temperature) are used to identify potential physical deformations or other signs of physical failure of an ESD. These measurements provide early warnings of impending ESD failure. Other ESD monitors may fail to detect these conditions and/or be too slow to prevent damage from thermal runaways or other catastrophic failures when they occur. A described unintrusive ESD health monitoring is described to enhance ESD safety; dangerous surface temperatures, physical swelling, or other unsafe conditions are detected early to intervene and cease operations before it is too late.

An electromagnetic response simulator receives a position and an orientation of both an electromagnetic sensor (e.g., radar sensor) and a target, and a geometric profile of a road surface. The road surface may vary in elevation in the lateral and/or longitudinal directions. The electromagnetic response simulator estimates reflection points of electromagnetic rays along the geometric profile of the road surface and translates the positions and the orientations of the electromagnetic sensor and the target into respective local coordinates corresponding to each reflection point. The electromagnetic responses can then be calculated, corresponding simulated rays can be output to a sensor simulator. In this manner, the variance in elevation of a road surface can be included in generating simulated rays, and the electromagnetic response simulator may more accurately simulate real-world electromagnetic responses.

This document describes techniques and systems for target testing based on raw uncalibrated radar data. Channel responses (e.g., Raw radar data) are obtained from a sensor having a Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array.

If the number of dominant singular values is different than the number of targets, either from prior information or estimated after calibration, then further analysis may be used to determine the cause of the difference. In this manner, potential damaged sensors or degradation from cover reflections may be identified, sensor status independent of calibration may be monitored, and calibration may be improved.

This document describes techniques for implementing active steering assistance for vehicle turns and parking maneuvers. A host vehicle may move on a vehicle path and detect a road barrier (e.g., a curb) with a shorter height relative a driving surface than the height of a vehicle wheel. When a collision is predicted between the road barrier and the host vehicle, a steering correction is determined for changing a vehicle direction on the vehicle path to prevent the collision. When the steering correction is within a safety threshold (e.g., safe for driving at slow speed), a steering assistance function is activated. The steering assistance function causes an adjustment to steering controls, which change the vehicle direction based on the steering correction determined to avoid the road barrier in the driving surface in time to prevent the predicted collision.

This document describes techniques and systems related to a radar system using a machine-learned model to identify the number of objects within each range-Doppler bin. For example, the radar system includes a processor that obtains radar data associated with objects and processes the radar data to generate beam vectors.

The processor selects a particular angle-finding technique based on whether a single object or multiple objects are identified. In this way, the described systems and techniques more accurately identify the number of object in each range-Doppler bin, thus improving the computational efficiency and robustness of subsequent angle finding.

PARTIALLY-LEARNED MODEL FOR SPEED ESTIMATES IN RADAR TRACKING
This document describes techniques and systems for a partially-learned model for speed estimates in radar tracking. A radar system is described that determines radial-velocity maps of potential detections in an environment of a vehicle. The model uses a data cube to determine predicted boxes for the potential detections. Using the predicted boxes, the radar system determines Doppler measurements associated with the potential detections that correspond to the predicted boxes. The Doppler measurements are used to determine speed estimates for the predicted boxes based on the corresponding potential detections. These speed estimates may be more accurate than a speed estimate derived from the data cube and the model. Driving decisions supported by the speed estimates may result in safer and more comfortable vehicle behavior.

MULTI-MODE RADAR SYSTEM WITH HIGH ISOLATION BETWEEN MODES
A multi-mode radar system with high isolation between modes is described herein. The radar system comprises a feed portion configured to propagate electromagnetic energy along an energy path. Connected to the feed portion is a divider portion that splits the energy path into a first energy path corresponding to first antennas and a second energy path corresponding to second antennas. The second antennas have one or more of: different operating frequencies, different polarizations, or different fields of view than the first antennas. By using respective filters in the first and second antenna portions, the radar system achieves multi-mode use (e.g., muti-frequency, multi-polarization, and/or multi-field-of-view) with high isolation between the modes. Furthermore, using a single feed port may save cost, have lower complexity, and allow for better space utilization.
