VB-Com: Learning Vision-Blind Composite Humanoid Locomotion Against Deficient Perception
- 通过感知判断机制动态切换视觉与盲控策略
- 在动态或噪声环境中实现稳定越障行走
- 适合高自由度人形机器人在真实场景应用
腿式运动性能高度依赖状态观测的准确性和完整性。仅依赖本体感觉的盲控策略因感知可靠而具备高鲁棒性,但严重限制运动速度,常需与地形碰撞才能调整。相比之下,视觉策略可借助在线感知模块提前规划动作,主动应对非结构化地形。然而,现实环境中的噪声、传感器故障及现有仿真对动态或可变形地形的刻画不足,常导致感知失真。对于高自由度且本体不稳定的类人机器人而言,感知缺陷极易引发摔倒或任务终止。为此,本文提出VB-Com复合框架,使机器人在感知不足时自动判断并切换至盲控模式。实验表明,即使在动态地形或感知噪声干扰下,该方法仍能有效实现复杂地形与障碍物的通行。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The performance of legged locomotion is closely tied to the accuracy and comprehensiveness of state observations. Blind policies, which rely solely on proprioception, are considered highly robust due to the reliability of proprioceptive observations. However, these policies significantly limit locomotion speed and often require collisions with the terrain to adapt. In contrast, Vision policies allows the robot to plan motions in advance and respond proactively to unstructured terrains with an online perception module. However, perception is often compromised by noisy real-world environments, potential sensor failures, and the limitations of current simulations in presenting dynamic or deformable terrains. Humanoid robots, with high degrees of freedom and inherently unstable morphology, are particularly susceptible to misguidance from deficient perception, which can result in falls or termination on challenging dynamic terrains. To leverage the advantages of both vision and blind policies, we propose VB-Com, a composite framework that enables humanoid robots to determine when to rely on the vision policy and when to switch to the blind policy under perceptual deficiency. We demonstrate that VB-Com effectively enables humanoid robots to traverse challenging terrains and obstacles despite perception deficiencies caused by dynamic terrains or perceptual noise.
