Abstract

See full text

An autonomous vehicle guidance system that generates a path for controlling an autonomous vehicle based at least in part on a data structure generated based at least in part on sensor data that may indicate occupied space in an environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle. The guidance system may receive a grid and generate a grid associated with the grid and the data structure. The guidance system may additionally or alternatively sub-sample the grid (latterly and/or longitudinally) dynamically based at least in part on characteristics determined from the data structure. The guidance system may identify a path based at least in part on a set of precomputed motion primitives, costs associated therewith, and/or a heuristic cost plot that indicates a cheapest cost to move from one pose to another.
