飞行机器人可通过自主执行巡检与测绘任务提升工地效率,但靠近人类工作者时的安全导航仍具挑战。尽管静态环境导航已有深入研究,动态环境因感知与规划难题仍待解决。由于载荷限制,机器人仅能使用视场有限的摄像头,导致避障时感知不可靠、跟踪易丢失。此外,动态环境快速变化会使预生成的最优轨迹迅速失效。为此,本文提出一个融合感知、意图预测与规划的综合导航框架。感知模块高效检测并追踪动态障碍物,有效应对跟踪丢失与遮挡问题。意图预测模块采用马尔可夫决策过程(MDP)预测障碍物潜在行为及未来轨迹。最后,基于新提出的意图驱动型规划算法,结合模型预测控制(MPC)生成导航轨迹。仿真与实物实验表明,本方法相较基准方案碰撞最少,显著提升导航安全性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Aerial robots can enhance construction site productivity by autonomously handling inspection and mapping tasks. However, ensuring safe navigation near human workers remains challenging. While navigation in static environments has been well studied, navigating dynamic environments remains open due to challenges in perception and planning. Payload limitations restrict the robots to using cameras with limited fields of view, resulting in unreliable perception and tracking during collision avoidance. Moreover, the rapidly changing conditions of dynamic environments can quickly make the generated optimal trajectory outdated.To address these challenges, this paper presents a comprehensive navigation framework that integrates perception, intent prediction, and planning. Our perception module detects and tracks dynamic obstacles efficiently and handles tracking loss and occlusion during collision avoidance. The proposed intent prediction module employs a Markov Decision Process (MDP) to forecast potential actions of dynamic obstacles with the possible future trajectories. Finally, a novel intent-based planning algorithm, leveraging model predictive control (MPC), is applied to generate navigation trajectories. Simulation and physical experiments demonstrate that our method improves the safety of navigation by achieving the fewest collisions compared to benchmarks.
