"Autonomous Driving at scale through complex geometric terrain and road-network negotiating stochastic-complex-adversarial traffic-dynamics on the roads in India. This demo showcases @swaayatt's autonomous vehicle starting from a densely cluttered region planning its route to the Shree Ram Mandir (its final destination) in the Barkheda region in the city of Bhopal. Our #autonomousdriving technology enables smooth navigation of our autonomous vehicle through the static and dynamic traffic encountered on the road. This demo utilized our motion planning and decision making algorithmic framework"

"This demo marks the beginning our generic off-roads #autonomousdriving research at very high speeds i.e. near-drift speeds without requiring HD maps with driving policies being learned via unsupervised and reinforcement learning. During navigation our vehicle consistently maintained speeds in the range of 50-63 KM/H. For human experts typical driving speeds range around [--] KM/H as beyond that there is a high probability of vehicle skidding and drifting (i) around turns and (ii) when brakes are applied. The terrain was rutted and highly uneven with large and sharp pieces of rocks scattered all"

"Autonomous driving and obstacles avoidance at drift speeds challenging the limits of what is possible In this demo our vehicle can be seen performing #autonomousdriving at very high speeds causing it to both skid and drift at turns while also avoiding obstacles. At such speeds given the inherent dynamics of the vehicle platform used it is very easy for the vehicle to topple. The #reinforcementlearning based motion planning and decision making framework that is being demoed here is tasked with ensuring obstacles avoidance without compromising on the speed to an extent possible and to drive the"

"In this demo we showcase #autonomousdriving off-roads at night with obstacles avoidance at high-speeds paving the way for fully #autonomousvehicles both on- and off-roads. This was our 9th demo off-roads where earlier last year in Feb [----] we showcased the ability to negotiate bidirectional dynamic traffic off-roads. Going forward this year we will be showcasing our #reinforcementlearning (RL) first approach towards solving the problem of off-roads autonomous driving. Off-roads autonomy is a tough problem to solve due to non availability of HD maps and also due to supervised #DeepLearning"

"Enabling autonomous vehicles perceive their environment using only off-the-shelf cameras has been a long term research objective at @swaayatt. This demo highlights the capabilities of our on-road perception system which is able to detect obstacles road boundaries lane markers in images as well as compute depth of the complex scenes in the environment. The output shown in this video is end-to-end raw output from our deep learning system without any post processing. The current system with joint computation of obstacles lane/road boundaries and depth works at [--] FPS on an embedded GPU in our"

"Solving Level-5 #autonomousdriving problem has been a sole objective at Swaayatt Robots. Towards this endeavor we demonstrate our novel on-line motion planning and decision making framework that allows #autonomousvehicles to move both in a smooth fashion as well as at aggressive speeds while performing obstacles avoidance maneuvers. This demos showcases our autonomous vehicle at @swaayatt negotiating traffic-cones (obstacles) at very aggressive speeds. The location of the marked cones was not known to the planner beforehand and thus the motion (time parametrized trajectory computation with"

"In this demo we extend our prior work on obstacles avoidance at aggressive speeds showcasing our Thar based autonomous vehicle navigating at near drift speeds progressing towards our endeavour of Level-5 autonomy. Our autonomous vehicle at @swaayatt was tasked with avoidance of traffic cones on the road placed in a zig-zag fashion at aggressive speeds. The location of the marked cones was not known to the planner beforehand. The #autonomousdriving task i.e. motion planning (time parametrized trajectory computation) and decision making was made even more challenging by restricting the AI"

"On February 22nd we demoed our #autonomousdriving technology to the Indian Armed Forces along with an invited talk which was attended by the General Officer Commanding (GoC) MB Area Lieutenant General Mr. P. S. Shekhawat. This demonstration included many senior officials (Brigadier Colonel Major) taking end-to-end rides in our #autonomousvehicles in the military campus area allocated to us. Our on- and off-roads autonomy programs target both the civil and military use cases. The area allocated to us by the army was a structured well paved environment where we showcased following capabilities"

"Last weekend we took Executive Chairman and Co-Founder of @SaloniHeart (Saloni Heart Foundation) Mr. Himanshu Seth for a ride in our autonomous vehicle performing bidirectional negotiation of traffic on single lane roads. Such a navigation task is too complex for contemporary #AutonomousDriving technologies. Over the years we have developed novel algorithmic frameworks and decision making agents that allow seamless negotiation of bidirectional traffic on single lane and multi-lane roads. If a large vehicle or a bike that doesn't yield from the middle of the road comes from the other end then"

"On 13th March Jan Kuenne visited us for a ride in our #autonomousvehicles and celebrate Holi with us. We conducted two demos with him showcasing the key research frontiers that @swaayatt is working on towards achieving Level-5 #autonomousdriving. Demo-1 involved our navigation on a single lane road with bidirectional traffic. The road is wide enough to allow only one vehicle passage at a time -- for any two vehicles approaching each other head-on both will have to yield and shift off-roads. Over the past [---] years we have made significant progress towards learning such navigation policies"

"On the night of Holi we took Jan Kuenne for a demonstration of the most recent framework we have been working on to achieve L5 #autonomousdriving i.e. avoidance of obstacles at very high speeds. In this demo as we have demonstrated previously as well the AI agents are constrained to act irrespective of the speed of the vehicle or the configuration only when the obstacles (appearing in the form of marked-cones) come within 25m-30m radius of the vehicle (the decision making is stochastic). The motion planning and the decision making framework over here also has to take into account the toppling"
