Elastic Motion Policy: An Adaptive Dynamical System for Robust and Efficient One-Shot Imitation Learning
- 基于微分方程构建可收敛的运动策略,实现稳定控制
- 仅需一次示范,就能在线适应新场景并避障
- 适合人机共融场景,支持实时交互与恢复
行为克隆(BC)因能直接从专家示范中教授机器人复杂技能,已成为机器人模仿学习的主流方法。然而,BC存在固有的泛化问题。现有解决方案是增加数据量,但即便数据充足,分布外性能仍不理想,缺乏收敛和成功保证,也无法应对与人类的物理交互。为此,我们提出弹性运动策略(EMP),一种单次示范的模仿学习框架,使机器人能在场景变化时调整行为,同时遵守任务约束。EMP基于动力系统范式,通过一阶微分方程进行运动规划与控制,具备收敛性保障。采用全末端执行器空间(ℝ³×SO(3))中的拉普拉斯编辑和在线凸学习的李雅普诺夫函数,实现在线适应新环境,无需收集新示范。我们在真实机器人上广泛验证了该框架,在动态环境中展现出鲁棒高效的性能,具备障碍物规避与多步任务能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Behavior cloning (BC) has become a staple imitation learning paradigm in robotics due to its ease of teaching robots complex skills directly from expert demonstrations. However, BC suffers from an inherent generalization issue. To solve this, the status quo solution is to gather more data. Yet, regardless of how much training data is available, out-of-distribution performance is still sub-par, lacks any formal guarantee of convergence and success, and is incapable of allowing and recovering from physical interactions with humans. These are critical flaws when robots are deployed in ever-changing human-centric environments. Thus, we propose Elastic Motion Policy (EMP), a one-shot imitation learning framework that allows robots to adjust their behavior based on the scene change while respecting the task specification. Trained from a single demonstration, EMP follows the dynamical systems paradigm where motion planning and control are governed by first-order differential equations with convergence guarantees. We leverage Laplacian editing in full end-effector space, $\mathbb{R}^3\times SO(3)$, and online convex learning of Lyapunov functions, to adapt EMP online to new contexts, avoiding the need to collect new demonstrations. We extensively validate our framework in real robot experiments, demonstrating its robust and efficient performance in dynamic environments, with obstacle avoidance and multi-step task capabilities.
