Les entreprises ont coécrit un document démontrant l'utilisation des algorithmes de VERSES pour prévoir l'apparition de piétons, de cyclistes et de voitures cachés derrière des objets stationnaires - une avancée au-delà des capacités actuelles de l'IA pour véhicules autonomes.
La recherche, intitulée 'Navigation sous incertitude : prédiction de trajectoire et raisonnement d'occlusion avec des systèmes dynamiques à changement', met en avant une grande amélioration de la sécurité des véhicules autonomes. En utilisant le jeu de données public de Waymo, les expériences ont montré des améliorations significatives dans la prédiction des animaux, des personnes et des objets entrant dans la rue depuis derrière des voitures garées.
Le PDG de VERSES, Gabriel René, a déclaré que cette avancée pourrait aider à surmonter un défi de sécurité majeur non résolu dans l'industrie des véhicules autonomes, ouvrant potentiellement la voie à des routes plus sûres pour tous les usagers de la route.
VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQX:VRSSF) hat die ersten Ergebnisse seiner Genius™ Beta Partner-Zusammenarbeit mit Volvo Cars bekannt gegeben. Die Unternehmen haben ein Papier verfasst, das die Nutzung der Algorithmen von VERSES demonstriert, um das Auftreten von Fußgängern, Radfahrern und Autos zu prognostizieren, die hinter stationären Objekten verborgen sind - ein Fortschritt, der über die aktuellen KI-Fähigkeiten autonomer Fahrzeuge hinausgeht.
Die Forschung mit dem Titel 'Navigation unter Unsicherheit: Trajektorienvorhersage und Oklusionsreasoning mit wechselnden dynamischen Systemen' zeigt eine maßgebliche Verbesserung der Sicherheit autonomer Fahrzeuge. Mit dem offenen Datensatz von Waymo zeigten die Experimente signifikante Verbesserungen bei der Vorhersage von Tieren, Menschen und Objekten, die von geparkten Autos auf die Straße treten.
Der CEO von VERSES, Gabriel René, erklärte, dass dieser Fortschritt helfen könnte, eine bedeutende ungelöste Sicherheitsherausforderung in der autonomen Fahrzeugbranche zu überwinden, und möglicherweise den Weg für sicherere Straßen für alle Verkehrsteilnehmer ebnen könnte.

Genius™ Aims to Provide Safer Autonomous Driving By Predicting and Avoiding Unseen Pedestrians
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE:VERS) (OTCQX:VRSSF) ("VERSES" or the "Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in next generation intelligent systems, today announces the initial results of the Genius™ Beta Partner collaboration and the publishing of a paper co-authored by research teams at both Volvo Cars and VERSES. The paper uses VERSES’ algorithms to predict the appearance of pedestrians, cyclists, and cars that are obscured behind stationary vehicles and objects. An advancement beyond current capabilities of autonomous vehicle AI.
“As the automotive industry progresses towards fully autonomous self-driving cars, predicting where unseen obstacles like people or bicyclists may be or which trajectory they may be on has been a significant unsolved safety challenge. We believe the inability of current autonomous driving systems to overcome this hurdle is holding back the AV industry worldwide. Volvo Cars is globally recognized for its unwavering commitment to vehicle safety. So, they were the perfect partner to work with to showcase how VERSES can help solve this problem,” said Gabriel René, CEO of VERSES. “We believe this research project with Volvo Cars; part of our Genius Beta project, demonstrates a major advancement in autonomous vehicle safety capability. We expect the research project to pave the way for safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists, cars, robots, and beyond."
The paper titled, “Navigation under uncertainty: trajectory prediction and occlusion reasoning with switching dynamical systems,” can be found on VERSES’ website or on Arxiv here: https://arxiv.org/html/2410.10653v1
The paper explores a way to predict the trajectory of movement for people, animals, and objects occurring behind stationary objects like parked cars to help vehicles and drivers avoid them if the people enter the street unexpectedly. The research presents completed experiments illustrating capabilities using the Waymo open dataset. The results demonstrate significant improvements in predicting animals, people, and objects entering the street; something that vehicles with current AI have not been able to do.
