用加速度建模让机器人运动更平滑,避免突变动作。
FlowMP: Learning Motion Fields for Robot Planning with Conditional Flow Matching
- 通过条件流匹配学习带加速度的运动场
- 在基准测试中轨迹更平滑,成功率更高
- 适合需要自然运动的机器人路径规划
现有机器人领域的流匹配方法主要学习速度场以变换轨迹分布。本文将流匹配扩展至捕捉二阶轨迹动态,通过显式建模或学习目标隐式包含加速度影响。与依赖噪声前向过程和迭代去噪的扩散模型不同,流匹配直接训练连续变换(流),将简单先验分布映射到目标轨迹分布,无需去噪步骤。通过建模二阶动力学,所提方法生成的机器人运动更平滑且物理可执行,避免了一阶模型产生的突兀或动态不可行轨迹。实验表明,该二阶条件流匹配在运动规划基准上表现更优,生成轨迹更顺滑、成功率更高。结果表明,学习加速度感知的运动场具有明显优势,本方法在轨迹质量和规划成功率上优于现有运动规划方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Prior flow matching methods in robotics have primarily learned velocity fields to morph one distribution of trajectories into another. In this work, we extend flow matching to capture second-order trajectory dynamics, incorporating acceleration effects either explicitly in the model or implicitly through the learning objective. Unlike diffusion models, which rely on a noisy forward process and iterative denoising steps, flow matching trains a continuous transformation (flow) that directly maps a simple prior distribution to the target trajectory distribution without any denoising procedure. By modeling trajectories with second-order dynamics, our approach ensures that generated robot motions are smooth and physically executable, avoiding the jerky or dynamically infeasible trajectories that first-order models might produce. We empirically demonstrate that this second-order conditional flow matching yields superior performance on motion planning benchmarks, achieving smoother trajectories and higher success rates than baseline planners. These findings highlight the advantage of learning acceleration-aware motion fields, as our method outperforms existing motion planning methods in terms of trajectory quality and planning success.
