DreamWaQ++: Obstacle-Aware Quadrupedal Locomotion With Resilient Multi-Modal Reinforcement Learning
- 融合本体感知与外部感知,通过鲁棒多模态强化学习实现控制
- 在真实场景下实现陡坡、台阶、崎岖地形的敏捷行走
- 适合需要高适应性的野外或救援机器人应用
四足机器人在复杂环境中具有巨大应用潜力,其运动表现可媲美动物。然而,其浮地结构使其易受现实不确定性影响,导致运动控制困难。深度强化学习成为实现稳健运动控制器的可行方案。但仅依赖本体感知的方法会因需前脚触地才能检测台阶而丧失避障能力;而引入外部感知则要求传感器长时间精确建图。为此,本文提出一种融合本体与外部感知的新方法,基于鲁棒多模态强化学习框架,构建的控制器可在多种真实场景中实现敏捷运动,包括粗糙地形、陡坡和高层台阶,同时对分布外情况保持鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Quadrupedal robots hold promising potential for applications in navigating cluttered environments with resilience akin to their animal counterparts. However, their floating base configuration makes them vulnerable to real-world uncertainties, yielding substantial challenges in their locomotion control. Deep reinforcement learning has become one of the plausible alternatives for realizing a robust locomotion controller. However, the approaches that rely solely on proprioception sacrifice collision-free locomotion because they require front-feet contact to detect the presence of stairs to adapt the locomotion gait. Meanwhile, incorporating exteroception necessitates a precisely modeled map observed by exteroceptive sensors over a period of time. Therefore, this work proposes a novel method to fuse proprioception and exteroception featuring a resilient multi-modal reinforcement learning. The proposed method yields a controller that showcases agile locomotion performance on a quadrupedal robot over a myriad of real-world courses, including rough terrains, steep slopes, and high-rise stairs, while retaining its robustness against out-of-distribution situations.
