Hybrid traffic which involves both autonomous and human-driven vehicles would be the norm of the autonomous vehicles practice for a while. On the one hand, unlike autonomous vehicles, human-driven vehicles could exhibit sudden abnormal…
Localization for autonomous vehicles on highways remains under-explored compared to urban roads, and state-of-the-art methods for urban scenes degrade when directly applied to highways. We identify key challenges including environment…
Novelty heuristics aid heuristic search by exploring states that exhibit novel atoms. However, novelty heuristics are not symmetry invariant and hence may sometimes lead to redundant exploration. In this preliminary report, we propose to…
Novelty detection is commonly referred to as the discrimination of observations that do not conform to a learned model of regularity. Despite its importance in different application settings, designing a novelty detector is utterly complex…
