METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING AN AUTONOMOUS AGENT WITH INCOMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
A system for operating an autonomous agent with incomplete environmental information can include and/or interface an autonomous operating system and an autonomous agent. A method for operating an autonomous agent with incomplete environmental information includes any or all of: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of known objects in the ego vehicle's environment; determining a set of blind regions in the ego vehicle's environment; and inserting a set of virtual objects into the set of blind regions; selecting a set of virtual objects based on the set of blind regions; operating the autonomous agent based on the set of virtual objects; and/or any other suitable processes.
1 . A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
collecting sensor data from a set of sensors of the vehicle;
based on the sensor data, detecting:
a set of known objects;
a set of obstructed regions;
for a time interval in the future, simulating the vehicle's movement through an environment, wherein the environment comprises:
a 1 st set of objects corresponding to the set of known objects;
a 2 nd set of objects based on the set of obstructed regions, the 2 nd set of objects comprising a set of phantom objects;
based on the simulated movement, selecting an action for the vehicle; and
controlling the vehicle according to the action.
