提出新导航方法,让机器人绕行人群时更符合社交规范。
TAGA: A Tangent-Based Reactive Approach for Socially Compliant Robot Navigation Around Human Groups
- 通过切线路径检测群体边界,不改变原有导航策略
- 引入连续评估指标GCR,降低群体穿越率一半以上
- 适合提升传统反应式导航,对学习型模型影响小
机器人在人群环境中导航需避免碰撞并尊重社交结构,尤其是群体的隐含边界。现有方法多将人视为独立个体,即使无碰撞也会造成社交干扰。本文提出TAGA(基于切线的动作避群方法),通过切线路径探测群体边界,无需修改底层导航策略。设计分层安全控制器,协调群体级避让与个体防撞。提出群体穿越率(GCR)——衡量机器人处于任一群体凸包内的时间比例,提供比终点指标更精细的社交合规评估。构建包含五种真实人群行为阶段的仿真基准:个体速度异质性、群体速度耦合、F形静态群组、领导者-跟随者动态及凸包边界,分别在ORCA与社会力模型下评估。实验显示,在经典反应式基线中,TAGA带来最高8个百分点的成功率提升,且使GCR减半;对学习型策略影响极小。结果为模块化群体感知与端到端训练的选择提供可操作指导。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robots navigating human-populated environments must avoid collisions while respecting the social structure of crowds, particularly the implicit boundaries of social groups. Most navigation approaches model humans as independent individuals,causing socially disruptive behavior even when collision-free. This paper presents TAGA (Tangent Action for Group Avoidance), detected group boundaries via tangent-path maneuvers without modifying the underlying navigation policy. A hierarchical safety controller coordinates group-level avoidance with individual collision prevention. We propose the Group Crossing Rate (GCR), a continuous metric measuring the fraction of timesteps the robot spends inside any group convex hull, providing finer-grained social compliance assessment than terminal metrics alone. We introduce a realistic crowd simulation benchmark with five empirically grounded phases: individual speed heterogeneity, group speed coupling, F-formation static groups, leader-follower dynamics, and convex-hull boundaries, evaluated under both ORCA and Social Force pedestrian dynamics. Experiments across ORCA, Social Force, DS-RNN, and Intention-RL reveal a reactive-learning asymmetry: TAGA provides the largest gains for classical reactive baselines (up to +8pp success rate, GCR halved) with near-zero cost for learned policies. These findings offer actionable guidance for when modular group-awareness adds value versus when end-to-end group-aware training is preferable.
