US 2019/0318050 A1 · ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION IN AUTONOMOUS SIMULATION

Abstract

Systems and methods for validation of autonomous device control are disclosed herein. The systems and methods can experimentally validate control models, using randomness to account for error in environmental parameters as received by the simulation. The system and method can include generating modified environmental parameters using initial environmental parameters. A simulation can then be generated using the one or more modified environmental parameters and presented to a plurality of control models for an autonomous device. A performance metric for each of at least two of the plurality of control models can then be determined using a corresponding information set. Finally, one of the plurality of control models can be selected based on the performance metric.

Dependent claims

A probabilistic simulation system for validation of autonomous device control, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory communicably coupled to the one or more processors and storing:
a generation module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to generate one or more modified environmental parameters using one or more initial environmental parameters, and to generate a simulation using the one or more modified environmental parameters;
a presentation module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to present the simulation to a plurality of control models for an autonomous device, wherein each of the plurality of control models provides an information set;
and
a selection module including instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to determine a performance metric for each of at least two of the plurality of control models using the corresponding information set, and to select one of the plurality of control models based on the performance metric.
