让机器人在未知环境中既快又安全,自适应调整运动策略。
Bridging Adaptivity and Safety: Learning Agile Collision-Free Locomotion Across Varied Physics
- 用可学习的物理参数估计器和切换机制实现动态环境下的自适应安全
- 真实场景中速度提升19.8%,碰撞率降低至原来的42.4%(2.36倍)
- 适合需要高机动性与强鲁棒性的复杂现实场景机器人应用
真实世界的腿式运动系统常需在不同场景中兼顾敏捷性与安全性,且其动力学特性往往未知且随时间变化(如负载、摩擦)。本文提出BAS(Bridging Adaptivity and Safety),在先前工作Agile But Safe(ABS)基础上,构建了一种可在动态不确定环境中保持自适应安全的系统。BAS包含一个快速避障的敏捷策略与防止碰撞的恢复策略,一个与敏捷策略同步训练的物理参数估计器,以及一个由学习得到的控制理论级可达-避免(RA)价值网络,用于管理策略切换。同时,敏捷策略与RA网络均基于物理参数进行条件化以实现自适应。为缓解分布偏移问题,进一步引入在线策略微调阶段增强估计器的鲁棒性与准确性。仿真结果表明,BAS在动态环境中安全性能比基线提升50%,且平均速度更高。真实实验显示,面对未知物理条件(如摩擦未知的滑溜地面、最高达8kg的未知负载),基线因缺乏自适应能力导致碰撞或敏捷性下降,而BAS则实现19.8%的速度提升,并将碰撞率降至ABS的42.4%(即降低2.36倍)。视频演示:https://adaptive-safe-locomotion.github.io。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Real-world legged locomotion systems often need to reconcile agility and safety for different scenarios. Moreover, the underlying dynamics are often unknown and time-variant (e.g., payload, friction). In this paper, we introduce BAS (Bridging Adaptivity and Safety), which builds upon the pipeline of prior work Agile But Safe (ABS)(He et al.) and is designed to provide adaptive safety even in dynamic environments with uncertainties. BAS involves an agile policy to avoid obstacles rapidly and a recovery policy to prevent collisions, a physical parameter estimator that is concurrently trained with agile policy, and a learned control-theoretic RA (reach-avoid) value network that governs the policy switch. Also, the agile policy and RA network are both conditioned on physical parameters to make them adaptive. To mitigate the distribution shift issue, we further introduce an on-policy fine-tuning phase for the estimator to enhance its robustness and accuracy. The simulation results show that BAS achieves 50% better safety than baselines in dynamic environments while maintaining a higher speed on average. In real-world experiments, BAS shows its capability in complex environments with unknown physics (e.g., slippery floors with unknown frictions, unknown payloads up to 8kg), while baselines lack adaptivity, leading to collisions or. degraded agility. As a result, BAS achieves a 19.8% increase in speed and gets a 2.36 times lower collision rate than ABS in the real world. Videos: https://adaptive-safe-locomotion.github.io.
