Automated driving agents improve performance with perceptual uncertainty data

A new research paper explores how agents in automated driving systems can better handle environmental uncertainty, particularly perceptual uncertainty. The study introduces a proxy task where an agent is rewarded for driving quickly without collisions. By perturbing the agent's perception and then informing it about this uncertainty, the research demonstrates that agents adapt their behavior. When aware of perceptual uncertainty, agents drive more defensively and can complete tasks faster while managing risks. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust and efficient automated driving systems by enabling agents to better interpret and react to environmental uncertainties.

    Does Knowledge About Perceptual Uncertainty Help an Agent in Automated Driving?

    arXiv:2502.11864v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Agents in real-world scenarios like automated driving deal with uncertainty in their environment, in particular due to perceptual uncertainty. Although, reinforcement learning is dedicated to autonomous decision-making under unc…
