US Patent Issued to NVIDIA on Aug. 26 for "Differentiable and modular prediction and planning for autonomous machines" (American, Israeli, Swiss Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 26 -- United States Patent no. 12,397,823, issued on Aug. 26, was assigned to NVIDIA Corp. (Santa Clara, Calif.).

"Differentiable and modular prediction and planning for autonomous machines" was invented by Peter Karkus (Zurich), Boris Ivanovic (Mountain View, Calif.), Shie Mannor (Haifa, Israel) and Marco Pavone (Stanford, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In various examples, a motion planner include an analytical function to predict motion plans for a machine based on predicted trajectories of actors in an environment, where the predictions are differentiable with respect to parameters of a neural network of a motion predictor used to predict the trajectories.
