• Developing deep learning approach to predict solution cases for optimization-based trajectory generation in C++
• Implemented deep imitation learning neural network in Python using PyTorch for efficient motion primitive sampling in time-optimal long-range planner using ROS; created dataset, designed architecture, tuned hyperparameters
• Built greedy algorithm that performed 200x faster with only a 5% longer trajectory time for high-acceleration vehicles
• Implemented jump-point search algorithm and ran ablation studies in order to compare performance to A* in planner
