融合调制与约束屏障函数,解决动态避障中的局部极小点问题。

No Minima, No Collisions: Combining Modulation and Control Barrier Function Strategies for Feasible Dynamic Collision Avoidance

  • 将系统调制与约束屏障函数结合,构造新控制器框架。
  • 在模拟医院环境和真实机器人上均显著减少无效停驻点。
  • 适合需要高安全性的移动机器人动态避障场景。

控制屏障函数二次规划(CBF-QP)是实时安全控制的核心工具,适用于广义控制仿射系统,并通过优化实现约束强制。然而,其常产生阻止到达目标的不良局部极小点。另一方面,动力系统调制(Mod-DS)方法通过几何重构名义向量场,可实现无或极少局部极小的避障,但缺乏处理输入约束的直接机制,且主要局限于全驱动系统。本文重新审视两者理论基础,发现普通调制是CBF-QP的特例,参考调制与CBF-QP共享同一核心方程。基于此,提出调制型CBF-QP(MCBF-QP)框架,引入参考与流形内调制变体,有效消除或大幅减少一般控制仿射系统在动态杂乱环境中固有的虚假平衡点。在模拟医院场景及真实机器人实验中(包括全驱动Ridgeback机器人与欠驱动Fetch平台),所提控制器在各项性能指标上均优于标准CBF-QP。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Control Barrier Function Quadratic Programs (CBF-QPs) have become a central tool for real-time safety-critical control due to their applicability to general control-affine systems and their ability to enforce constraints through optimization. Yet, they often generate trajectories with undesirable local minima that prevent convergence to goals. On the other hand, Modulation of Dynamical Systems (Mod-DS) methods (including normal, reference, and on-manifold variants) reshape nominal vector fields geometrically and achieve obstacle avoidance with few or even no local minima. However, Mod-DS provides no straightforward mechanism for handling input constraints and remains largely restricted to fully actuated systems. In this paper, we revisit the theoretical foundations of both approaches and show that, despite their seemingly different constructions, the normal Mod-DS is a special case of the CBF-QP, and the reference Mod-DS is linked to the CBF-QP through a single shared equation. These connections motivate our Modulated CBF-QP (MCBF-QP) framework, which introduces reference and on-manifold modulation variants that reduce or fully eliminate the spurious equilibria inherent to CBF-QPs for general control-affine systems operating in dynamic, cluttered environments. We validate the proposed controllers in simulated hospital settings and in real-world experiments on fully actuated Ridgeback robots and underactuated Fetch platforms. Across all evaluations, Modulated CBF-QPs consistently outperform standard CBF-QPs on every performance metric.
