Title: Innovations by Nanxiang Li

Introduction

Nanxiang Li is an accomplished inventor based in Livermore, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of vehicle motion planning, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the capabilities of vehicles through advanced planning systems.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Ensemble-based vehicle motion planner." This invention provides systems, methods, and computer program products for ensemble-based vehicle motion planning. A model ensemble, which includes a routing model and multiple planning models, may be trained and applied to generate a trajectory for navigating a vehicle in various scenarios. In some instances, the routing model selects the trajectory generated by the best-performing planning model from multiple candidate trajectories. Alternatively, it may successively activate one or more planning models to generate candidate trajectories until it identifies one that meets specific criteria.

Another notable patent is "Generating corrected future maneuver parameters in a planner." This patent outlines methods for generating future maneuver parameters in a planner. It includes receiving a first set of parameters associated with previous vehicle maneuvers and a second set associated with a maneuver goal. The invention generates a future maneuver parameter corresponding to a future maneuver of the vehicle and trains a data model by comparing this parameter to reference maneuver parameters. The result is a corrected future maneuver parameter that includes both the future maneuver and necessary corrections.
