用少量真实机器人演示,预测实际系统中的故障。

Failure Prediction from Limited Hardware Demonstrations

  • 结合模型仿真与真实数据,分三步发现故障。
  • 仅需少量真实演示(如N₁=5)即可构建可靠故障预测器。
  • 适合资源有限但需高安全性的机器人故障检测场景。

真实机器人系统的故障预测通常需要精确的模型信息或大量测试。当系统模型部分已知时,基于仿真的故障预测不可靠。同时,获取演示数据成本高,重复失败可能对机器人造成风险。本文提出一种三步法:首先用模型动力学进行充分仿真,发现算法层面的故障;其次利用贝叶斯推断设计前N₁个真实系统演示,训练基于高斯过程回归(GPR)的故障预测器;最后通过剩余的N−N₁次演示迭代更新预测器。以UR3E机械臂执行推T型块至目标区域(扩散策略)和F1-Tenth赛车沿给定赛道行驶(LQR控制)为例,验证了该方法在有限演示预算下有效发现真实故障的能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Prediction of failures in real-world robotic systems either requires accurate model information or extensive testing. Partial knowledge of the system model makes simulation-based failure prediction unreliable. Moreover, obtaining such demonstrations is expensive, and could potentially be risky for the robotic system to repeatedly fail during data collection. This work presents a novel three-step methodology for discovering failures that occur in the true system by using a combination of a limited number of demonstrations from the true system and the failure information processed through sampling-based testing of a model dynamical system. Given a limited budget $N$ of demonstrations from true system and a model dynamics (with potentially large modeling errors), the proposed methodology comprises of a) exhaustive simulations for discovering algorithmic failures using the model dynamics; b) design of initial $N_1$ demonstrations of the true system using Bayesian inference to learn a Gaussian process regression (GPR)-based failure predictor; and c) iterative $N - N_1$ demonstrations of the true system for updating the failure predictor. To illustrate the efficacy of the proposed methodology, we consider: a) the failure discovery for the task of pushing a T block to a fixed target region with UR3E collaborative robot arm using a diffusion policy; and b) the failure discovery for an F1-Tenth racing car tracking a given raceline under an LQR control policy.
