HWC-Loco: A Hierarchical Whole-Body Control Approach to Robust Humanoid Locomotion
- 分层策略动态平衡任务完成与安全恢复的矛盾
- 在多种地形和真实场景下表现优于现有方法
- 基于人类行为规范设计,适合实际应用部署
人形机器人在各类工作场景中扮演重要角色,但因其复杂的物理结构,在训练与部署环境存在差异时,仍难以实现鲁棒的运动控制。本文提出面向人形机器人步态的稳健控制算法 HWC-Loco,将策略学习重构为鲁棒优化问题,显式学习在安全临界场景下的恢复能力。为避免过度保守导致任务失败,该算法采用分层策略,根据人类行为规范和动态约束,动态调节目标追踪与安全恢复之间的权衡。在模拟与真实环境下的多类地形、多种机器人结构和运动任务中,对当前先进方法进行广泛对比,结果表明 HWC-Loco 具有显著优越性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Humanoid robots, capable of assuming human roles in various workplaces, have become essential to embodied intelligence. However, as robots with complex physical structures, learning a control model that can operate robustly across diverse environments remains inherently challenging, particularly under the discrepancies between training and deployment environments. In this study, we propose HWC-Loco, a robust whole-body control algorithm tailored for humanoid locomotion tasks. By reformulating policy learning as a robust optimization problem, HWC-Loco explicitly learns to recover from safety-critical scenarios. While prioritizing safety guarantees, overly conservative behavior can compromise the robot's ability to complete the given tasks. To tackle this challenge, HWC-Loco leverages a hierarchical policy for robust control. This policy can dynamically resolve the trade-off between goal-tracking and safety recovery, guided by human behavior norms and dynamic constraints. To evaluate the performance of HWC-Loco, we conduct extensive comparisons against state-of-the-art humanoid control models, demonstrating HWC-Loco's superior performance across diverse terrains, robot structures, and locomotion tasks under both simulated and real-world environments.
