让无人机实时避障更安全敏捷,靠的是统一感知规划控制
Reactive Collision Avoidance for Safe Agile Navigation

- 用神经网络优化摄像头数据,实时筛选最危险障碍物
- 结合模型预测与自适应约束,实现毫秒级避障响应
- 无需地图或调参,适合复杂动态环境的无人机应用
反应式避障对在复杂动态环境中高速运行的机器人至关重要,需实时响应障碍物。但传统方法将感知、规划、控制分步处理,导致误差累积和延迟。本文提出一种统一框架,仅依赖机载传感器与计算资源,融合非线性模型预测控制与自适应控制屏障函数,将感知生成的约束直接用于实时规划与控制。通过神经网络对噪声RGB-D数据进行精炼,提升深度精度,并选取时间到碰撞最小的点作为优先威胁。为兼顾安全与机动性,设计启发式机制动态调节优化过程,避免实时过约束。大量实验验证了该方法在多种室内外环境下对高速四旋翼的有效避障能力,且无需环境特化调优或显式建图。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reactive collision avoidance is essential for agile robots navigating complex and dynamic environments, enabling real-time obstacle response. However, this task is inherently challenging because it requires a tight integration of perception, planning, and control, which traditional methods often handle separately, resulting in compounded errors and delays. This paper introduces a novel approach that unifies these tasks into a single reactive framework using solely onboard sensing and computing. Our method combines nonlinear model predictive control with adaptive control barrier functions, directly linking perception-driven constraints to real-time planning and control. Constraints are determined by using a neural network to refine noisy RGB-D data, enhancing depth accuracy, and selecting points with the minimum time-to-collision to prioritize the most immediate threats. To maintain a balance between safety and agility, a heuristic dynamically adjusts the optimization process, preventing overconstraints in real time. Extensive experiments with an agile quadrotor demonstrate effective collision avoidance across diverse indoor and outdoor environments, without requiring environment-specific tuning or explicit mapping.
