Goal-oriented Semantic Communication for Robot Arm Reconstruction in Digital Twin: Feature and Temporal Selections
- 基于深度强化学习动态选择关键特征与传输时间点
- 严格约束下通信量减少59.5%,宽松约束下减少80%
- 适用于对实时性与通信效率要求高的工业数字孪生场景
作为工业领域最具前景的技术之一,数字孪生(DT)通过精确重建物理实体的虚拟副本,实现对现实系统的实时监控与预测分析。然而,随着通信开销不断增大,尤其在机器人臂的数字孪生重建中面临前所未有的挑战。为此,本文提出一种面向目标的语义通信(GSC)框架,旨在满足严格与宽松重建误差约束的前提下最小化通信负载。不同于传统定期发送重建消息的方式,该框架采用特征选择(FS)算法提取重建消息中的语义信息,并结合基于深度强化学习的时序选择算法,有选择地在时间维度上传输语义信息。通过Pybullet仿真及Franka Research 3机器人臂的实验室实验验证,结果表明:在多种不同机器人任务下,仿真中通信负载在严格约束下至少降低59.5%,宽松约束下降低80%;实验中分别降低53%和74%。演示视频见:https://youtu.be/2OdeHKxcgnk。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As one of the most promising technologies in industry, the Digital Twin (DT) facilitates real-time monitoring and predictive analysis for real-world systems by precisely reconstructing virtual replicas of physical entities. However, this reconstruction faces unprecedented challenges due to the everincreasing communication overhead, especially for digital robot arm reconstruction. To this end, we propose a novel goal-oriented semantic communication (GSC) framework to extract the GSC information for the robot arm reconstruction task in the DT, with the aim of minimising the communication load under the strict and relaxed reconstruction error constraints. Unlike the traditional reconstruction framework that periodically transmits a reconstruction message for real-time DT reconstruction, our framework implements a feature selection (FS) algorithm to extract the semantic information from the reconstruction message, and a deep reinforcement learning-based temporal selection algorithm to selectively transmit the semantic information over time. We validate our proposed GSC framework through both Pybullet simulations and lab experiments based on the Franka Research 3 robot arm. For a range of distinct robotic tasks, simulation results show that our framework can reduce the communication load by at least 59.5% under strict reconstruction error constraints and 80% under relaxed reconstruction error constraints, compared with traditional communication framework. Also, experimental results confirm the effectiveness of our framework, where the communication load is reduced by 53% in strict constraint case and 74% in relaxed constraint case.
