Abstract

A system and method for utilizing model predictive control for optimal interactions that include receiving environment e data associated with a surrounding environment of an ego agent and dynamic data associated with an operation of the ego agent. The system and method also include inputting the environment data and the dynamic data to variational autoencoders. The system and method additionally include utilizing the model predictive control through functional approximation with the variational autoencoders and decoders to output probabilistic action estimates. The system and method further include outputting an estimated optimal control trajectory based on analysis of the probabilistic action estimates to control at least one system of the ego agent to operate within the surrounding environment of the ego agent.
