This summer, you will own the development of a Safety-Critical Trajectory Correction (STC) module. Acting as a real-time safety overlay, the STC will function as a fallback mechanism that intercepts and minimally perturbs intended trajectories when collision risks are detected. You will design, train, and validate this architecture using Deep Reinforcement Learning to provide a continuous, constrained safety barrier for our vehicle fleet.
Responsibilities
- Conduct groundbreaking research with the potential to strongly impact Plus’s autonomous driving products, leading to publishable results. Key focus area for this internship will be reinforcement learning to generate safe trajectories for autonomous driving.
- Develop and benchmark cutting-edge techniques in deep learning.
- Collaborate with team members to optimize and seamlessly integrate developed techniques into the production perception/AV stack.
Required Skills:
- Pursuing MS or PhD in CS, EE, mathematics, statistics or related field
- Thorough understanding of reinforcement learning
- 1-2 years experience with implementing and training models in at least one deep learning framework (PyTorch, Tensorflow, Jax
Preferred Skills:
- Past experiences in design, implementation and training of deep reinforcement learning models
- Past experiences in projects related to autonomous driving
