提出可同时搜索解空间与无限任务空间的优化方法,提升机器人控制器快速重构效率。

($θ_l, θ_u$)-Parametric Multi-Task Optimization: Joint Search in Solution and Infinite Task Spaces

  • 在连续任务空间中联合搜索解与任务,构建双模型加速知识迁移
  • 实测验证在机器人控制与鲁棒设计中显著缩短优化时间
  • 适合需要动态适配新任务的工程系统,如智能机器人、自动化设计

多任务优化通常限定于固定且有限的任务集。本文提出一种参数化多任务优化(PMTO)新框架,允许任务集非固定且可能无限,定义在参数化的连续有界任务空间中。假设任务参数边界为(θ_l, θ_u),设计了一种(θ_l, θ_u)-PMTO算法,支持离线与在线双模式运行。离线模式下,构建两个近似模型:(1)将统一解空间映射至所有任务的目标空间,通过跨任务知识传递显式加速收敛;(2)概率性地将任务映射到对应解,促进对任务空间未充分探索区域的进化探索。在线模式下,利用已构建模型可直接优化任意边界内的任务,无需从头搜索。该方法在合成测试问题与实际案例中均验证有效,展现出在任务条件变化时快速重配置机器人控制器的显著应用潜力。此外,在鲁棒工程设计中,成功演示了其在求解极小极大优化问题中的巨大提速效果。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multi-task optimization is typically characterized by a fixed and finite set of tasks. The present paper relaxes this condition by considering a non-fixed and potentially infinite set of optimization tasks defined in a parameterized, continuous and bounded task space. We refer to this unique problem setting as parametric multi-task optimization (PMTO). Assuming the bounds of the task parameters to be ($\boldsymbolθ_l$, $\boldsymbolθ_u$), a novel ($\boldsymbolθ_l$, $\boldsymbolθ_u$)-PMTO algorithm is crafted to operate in two complementary modes. In an offline optimization mode, a joint search over solution and task spaces is carried out with the creation of two approximation models: (1) for mapping points in a unified solution space to the objective spaces of all tasks, which provably accelerates convergence by acting as a conduit for inter-task knowledge transfers, and (2) for probabilistically mapping tasks to their corresponding solutions, which facilitates evolutionary exploration of under-explored regions of the task space. In the online mode, the derived models enable direct optimization of any task within the bounds without the need to search from scratch. This outcome is validated on both synthetic test problems and practical case studies, with the significant real-world applicability of PMTO shown towards fast reconfiguration of robot controllers under changing task conditions. The potential of PMTO to vastly speedup the search for solutions to minimax optimization problems is also demonstrated through an example in robust engineering design.
