LiveNet让机器人在狭窄空间中像人一样避让,又快又安全。
LiveNet: Robust, Minimally Invasive Multi-Robot Control for Safe and Live Navigation in Constrained Environments
- 用统一的约束控制方法同时保证安全与畅通
- 比现有方法快10-20倍,侵入性降低4-5倍
- 无需通信或协作,适合真实复杂场景
在密集人流的真实环境中,机器人常需通过狭窄门道、走廊交汇处等受限空间,因空间冲突导致碰撞或死锁。当前去中心化的最先进优化与神经网络方法(i)主要针对开阔空间设计,(ii)过于保守,难以兼顾安全与畅通。部分依赖集中式冲突解决的方法虽有效,但轨迹侵入性强,难以实际部署。本文提出LiveNet,一种完全去中心化且鲁棒的神经网络控制器,实现类人避让与通行,在拥挤冲突区域达成敏捷、非保守、无死锁且安全的导航。LiveNet最小化侵入性,无需代理间通信或协同行为。核心思想是将安全与畅通统一建模为约束控制函数(CBF),并嵌入神经网络以增强鲁棒性。我们在仿真中评估发现,通用多机器人优化与学习方法无法抵达目标,而专门设计的方法虽能成功,但速度慢10-20倍,侵入性高4-5倍,且对起始/目标状态变化等配置变化敏感。代码已开源:https://github.com/srikarg89/LiveNet
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robots in densely populated real-world environments frequently encounter constrained and cluttered situations such as passing through narrow doorways, hallways, and corridor intersections, where conflicts over limited space result in collisions or deadlocks among the robots. Current decentralized state-of-the-art optimization- and neural network-based approaches (i) are predominantly designed for general open spaces, and (ii) are overly conservative, either guaranteeing safety, or liveness, but not both. While some solutions rely on centralized conflict resolution, their highly invasive trajectories make them impractical for real-world deployment. This paper introduces LiveNet, a fully decentralized and robust neural network controller that enables human-like yielding and passing, resulting in agile, non-conservative, deadlock-free, and safe, navigation in congested, conflict-prone spaces. LiveNet is minimally invasive, without requiring inter-agent communication or cooperative behavior. The key insight behind LiveNet is a unified CBF formulation for simultaneous safety and liveness, which we integrate within a neural network for robustness. We evaluated LiveNet in simulation and found that general multi-robot optimization- and learning-based navigation methods fail to even reach the goal, and while methods designed specially for such environments do succeed, they are 10-20 times slower, 4-5 times more invasive, and much less robust to variations in the scenario configuration such as changes in the start states and goal states, among others. We open-source the LiveNet code at https://github.com/srikarg89/LiveNet{https://github.com/srikarg89/LiveNet.
