Dream to Assist: Intent-Conditioned World Models for Shared Vehicle Control

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

Dream2Assist is a model‑based reinforcement learning framework that extends a recurrent state‑space world model with intent inference to support shared vehicle control. The system is trained via fictitious co‑play to anticipate discrete human objectives without overriding agency, and includes a full deployment pipeline to translate the policy into a safe, human‑centered real‑world system. Validation through three human‑subject studies and on‑vehicle deployments in high‑speed racing and urban driving shows that intent conditioning improves torque alignment and reduces collision rates.

IntNet: A Communication-Driven Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning Framework for Cooperative Autonomous Driving

IntNet is a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework designed to improve safety in autonomous driving by integrating vehicle intent transmission and adaptive communication scheduling into a single end-to-end learning system. The model uses an observation prediction module for agents to forecast future policy outputs and share them over a vehicle-to-vehicle network, while a Graph Attention Network processes incoming messages and a scheduler optimizes the communication graph for bandwidth efficiency. Experiments in complex urban environments show that IntNet achieves better coordination, lower collision rates, and reduces communication effort by up to 60% compared to state‑of‑the‑art communicative MARL methods.
