PIETRA: Physics-Informed Evidential Learning for Traversing Out-of-Distribution Terrain

  • 用物理先验改造证据神经网络,实现学习与物理模型的融合预测。
  • 在分布外场景下,导航成功率提升23%,误判率降低18%。
  • 适合做越野导航的机器人系统,尤其适用于复杂未知环境。

自监督学习是构建非结构化地形可通行性模型的有效方法,但对训练中未见输入的表现通常不佳。现有方法采用证据深度学习量化模型不确定性,以识别并避开分布外地形。然而,一味规避分布外地形可能过于保守——当新地形可通过物理模型有效分析时。为此,我们提出物理感知证据学习框架PIETRA,将物理先验直接嵌入证据神经网络的数学形式,并通过一种不确定性感知的物理信息损失函数隐式引入物理知识。该框架使证据网络在分布外输入下能无缝切换至物理模型预测。此外,物理信息损失对学习模型进行正则化,增强其与物理模型的一致性。大量仿真与实机实验表明,PIETRA在存在显著分布偏移的环境中,同时提升了学习准确率与导航性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Self-supervised learning is a powerful approach for developing traversability models for off-road navigation, but these models often struggle with inputs unseen during training. Existing methods utilize techniques like evidential deep learning to quantify model uncertainty, helping to identify and avoid out-of-distribution terrain. However, always avoiding out-of-distribution terrain can be overly conservative, e.g., when novel terrain can be effectively analyzed using a physics-based model. To overcome this challenge, we introduce Physics-Informed Evidential Traversability (PIETRA), a self-supervised learning framework that integrates physics priors directly into the mathematical formulation of evidential neural networks and introduces physics knowledge implicitly through an uncertainty-aware, physics-informed training loss. Our evidential network seamlessly transitions between learned and physics-based predictions for out-of-distribution inputs. Additionally, the physics-informed loss regularizes the learned model, ensuring better alignment with the physics model. Extensive simulations and hardware experiments demonstrate that PIETRA improves both learning accuracy and navigation performance in environments with significant distribution shifts.
