- 实测显著降低碰撞风险,提升导航效率
- 适合复杂人群环境中的自主机器人使用
在动态非结构化环境中导航对自主机器人构成重大挑战,尤其因遮挡区域带来的不确定性。传统传感方法常在障碍物接近时才检测到,尤其在人流密集区域,人体与物理障碍频繁遮挡机器人视野。为此,我们提出一种基于人作为传感器的遮挡感知障碍物预测框架,通过分析人类行为模式推断潜在遮挡区是否存在障碍物。该方法融合传感器数据、历史轨迹与预测模型,估算遮挡区域存在障碍物的概率与占用情况。利用人类自然规避特定区域的倾向,系统可实时主动调整机器人导航策略。大量仿真与真实实验表明,该框架显著提升障碍物预测准确率,降低碰撞风险,改善导航效率。研究结果凸显了遮挡感知障碍物预测系统在复杂动态环境中提升机器人安全性和适应性的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Navigating dynamic and unstructured environments poses significant challenges for autonomous robots, particularly due to the uncertainty introduced by occluded areas. Conventional sensing methods often fail to detect obstacles hidden behind occlusions until they are dangerously close, especially in crowded spaces where human movement and physical barriers frequently obstruct the robot's view. To address this limitation, we propose a novel framework for occlusion-aware obstacle prediction using people as sensors, that infers the presence of para-occluded obstacles by analyzing human behavioral patterns. Our approach integrates sensor fusion, historical trajectory data, and predictive modeling to estimate the likelihood of obstacle presence and occupancy in occluded regions. By leveraging the natural tendency of humans to avoid certain areas, the system enables robots to proactively adapt their navigation strategies in real time. Extensive simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly enhances obstacle prediction accuracy, reduces collision risks, and improves navigation efficiency. These findings underscore the potential of occlusion-aware obstacle prediction systems to improve the safety and adaptability of autonomous robots in complex, dynamic environments.
