运动规划(MP)是机器人领域的重要挑战,尤其在具身人工智能兴起背景下更为关键。传统方法在高维空间中面临困难。近年来,基于Eikonal方程的物理信息神经规划器被提出以克服维度灾难问题。然而,这些方法在具有复杂形状的机器人场景中表现不佳,因Eikonal方程存在多重解。为此,本文提出PC-Planner,一种用于复杂环境中多种形状机器人运动规划的新型物理约束自监督学习框架。我们引入了单调性与最优性等物理约束,以稳定基于Eikonal方程的神经网络训练过程。同时,提出一种新的形状感知距离场,考虑机器人形状实现高效碰撞检测与真实速度计算。该场降低计算开销,并支持测试时自适应规划。在多种场景和不同机器人上的实验表明,所提方法在效率和鲁棒性方面均优于现有方法,尤其在复杂环境中优势显著。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Motion Planning (MP) is a critical challenge in robotics, especially pertinent with the burgeoning interest in embodied artificial intelligence. Traditional MP methods often struggle with high-dimensional complexities. Recently neural motion planners, particularly physics-informed neural planners based on the Eikonal equation, have been proposed to overcome the curse of dimensionality. However, these methods perform poorly in complex scenarios with shaped robots due to multiple solutions inherent in the Eikonal equation. To address these issues, this paper presents PC-Planner, a novel physics-constrained self-supervised learning framework for robot motion planning with various shapes in complex environments. To this end, we propose several physical constraints, including monotonic and optimal constraints, to stabilize the training process of the neural network with the Eikonal equation. Additionally, we introduce a novel shape-aware distance field that considers the robot's shape for efficient collision checking and Ground Truth (GT) speed computation. This field reduces the computational intensity, and facilitates adaptive motion planning at test time. Experiments in diverse scenarios with different robots demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in efficiency and robustness for robot motion planning, particularly in complex environments.
