TRAJECTORY VALUE LEARNING FOR AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

Trajectory value learning for autonomous systems includes generating an environment image from sensor input and processing the environment image through an image neural network to obtain a feature map. Trajectory value learning further includes sampling possible trajectories to obtain a candidate trajectory for an autonomous system, extracting, from the feature map, feature vectors corresponding to the candidate trajectory, combining the feature vectors into the input vector, and processing, by a score neural network model, the input vector to obtain a projected score for the candidate trajectory. Trajectory value learning further includes selecting, from the candidate trajectories, the candidate trajectory as a selected trajectory based on the projected score, and implementing the selected trajectory.
