• Abstract: This work addresses the problem of predicting the motion trajectories of dynamic objects in the environment. Recent advances in predicting motion patterns often rely on machine learning techniques to extrapolate motion patterns from observed trajectories, with no mechanism to directly incorporate known rules. We propose a novel framework, which combines probabilistic learning and constrained trajectory optimisation. The learning component of our framework provides a distribution over future motion trajectories conditioned on observed past coordinates. This distribution is then used as a prior to a constrained optimisation problem which enforces chance constraints on the trajectory distribution. This results in constraint-compliant trajectory distributions which closely resemble the prior. In particular, we focus our investigation on collision constraints, such that extrapolated future trajectory distributions conform to the environment structure. We empirically demonstrate on real-world and simulated datasets the ability of our framework to learn complex probabilistic motion trajectories for motion data, while directly enforcing constraints to improve generalisability, producing more robust and higher quality trajectory distributions.

  Trajectory prediction describes the motions of surrounding moving obstacles for an autonomous vehicle. In this paper, we aim to establish real-time awareness of out-of-distribution in trajectory prediction for autonomous vehicles. Our solutions are lightweight and can handle the occurrence of out-of-distribution at any time during trajectory prediction inference.

  We propose a novel sampling method applicable to trajectory prediction based on the predictions of multiple models. We first show that conventional sampling based on predicted probabilities can degrade performance due to missing alignment between models. By using state-of-the-art models as base learners, our approach constructs diverse and effective ensembles for optimal trajectory sampling.

  Forecasting human trajectories in complex dynamic environments plays a critical role in autonomous vehicles and intelligent robots. Most existing methods learn to predict future trajectories by behavior clues from history trajectories and interaction clues from environments. We propose a counterfactual analysis method for human trajectory prediction to investigate the causality between the predicted trajectories and input clues.

  We propose to learn congestion patterns explicitly and devise a novel "Sense--Learn--Reason--Predict" framework. By decomposing the learning phases into two stages, a "student" can learn contextual cues from a "teacher" while generating collision-free trajectories. In experiments, we demonstrate that the proposed model is able to generate collision-free trajectory predictions in a synthetic dataset.
