本文提出QuadPiPS,一种基于感知空间的四足机器人落脚点规划框架。该方法引入新型自中心局部环境表示——腿式视域图(legged egocan),通过几何与语义联合编码捕捉独特的腿部可用性特征,支持局部运动规划与控制。受ALEF规划框架启发,将落脚点空间划分为离散与连续子空间。为实现实时部署,通过搜索与轨迹优化技术合成感知驱动、实时且满足动力学可行性的参考轨迹。为支持充分搜索,利用超像素对egocan底面进行过分割,生成适合作为候选落脚点的平面区域。非线性轨迹优化方法计算摆动轨迹,并生成可被模型预测控制与全身体控跟踪的长时序全身参考运动。在十种仿真环境与五种基线对比中,QuadPiPS在落脚点有限的安全关键场景下表现优异。在配备定制计算套件的Unitree Go2机器人上进行的真实世界验证表明,QuadPiPS可实现硬件级地形感知行走。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This work proposes QuadPiPS, a perception-informed framework for quadrupedal foothold planning in the perception space. QuadPiPS employs a novel ego-centric local environment representation, known as the legged egocan, that is extended here to capture unique legged affordances through a joint geometric and semantic encoding that supports local motion planning and control for quadrupeds. QuadPiPS takes inspiration from the Augmented Leafs with Experience on Foliations (ALEF) planning framework to partition the foothold planning space into its discrete and continuous subspaces. To facilitate real-world deployment, QuadPiPS broadens the ALEF approach by synthesizing perception-informed, real-time, and kinodynamically-feasible reference trajectories through search and trajectory optimization techniques. To support deliberate and exhaustive searching, QuadPiPS over-segments the egocan floor via superpixels to provide a set of planar regions suitable for candidate footholds. Nonlinear trajectory optimization methods then compute swing trajectories to transition between selected footholds and provide long-horizon whole-body reference motions that are tracked under model predictive control and whole body control. Benchmarking with the ANYmal C quadruped across ten simulation environments and five baselines reveals that QuadPiPS excels in safety-critical settings with limited available footholds. Real-world validation on the Unitree Go2 quadruped equipped with a custom computational suite demonstrates that QuadPiPS enables terrain-aware locomotion on hardware.
