MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611071097 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering And Technology Niet on June 08, 2026, for Bayesian Adaptive Priority Gradient Gating Apparatus For Multi-Constraint Safe Autonomous Vehicle Motion Planning.
Inventors include Oshin Misra; and Dr. Divya Mishra.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: An autonomous vehicle motion planning apparatus for navigating urban intersections with heterogeneous traffic participants comprises a sensor fusion processor (100) constructing a composite state vector, an actor-critic neural network accelerator (120) with a policy network (122) and a multi-head value network (124) having a reward critic (126) and independent cost critics (128), a Bayesian adaptive priority module (140) modelling constraint criticality as latent binary random variables and computing posterior attention weights using prior log-odds, static priority bias, immediate cost violation, and generalized advantage estimation, and a gradient gating multiplier array (156) modulating constraint gradients by the posterior weights. A hardware safety state controller (160) comprising a comparator array (162), latch logic unit (164), and safety state register (168) write-locks when any posterior weight exceeds a threshold, constraining the actuator command bus (174) to enforce prioritized safety during autonomous vehicle operation.
