- 适合想做无人机遥操作或模仿学习的研究者和工程师。
飞行操纵近年来受到工业界和学术界的广泛关注。以往方法在特定任务上表现良好,但其硬件设计与控制框架常与任务绑定,限制了跨任务、跨平台算法的发展。受桌面操作机器人学习成功的启发,我们提出一种以末端执行器为中心的统一空中操作框架,将高层平台无关决策与任务无关底层控制解耦。该框架包含全驱动六旋翼与四自由度机械臂,基于末端执行器的全身模型预测控制器,以及高层策略。高精度末端控制器实现了高效直观的空中遥操作,并支持模仿学习策略开发。真实世界实验表明,该框架显著提升了末端追踪精度,可处理多种空中遥操作与模仿学习任务,包括书写、插销、拾取放置、更换灯泡等。我们认为该框架为标准化空中操作提供了路径,有望推动该领域发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Aerial manipulation has recently attracted increasing interest from both industry and academia. Previous approaches have demonstrated success in various specific tasks. However, their hardware design and control frameworks are often tightly coupled with task specifications, limiting the development of cross-task and cross-platform algorithms. Inspired by the success of robot learning in tabletop manipulation, we propose a unified aerial manipulation framework with an end-effector-centric interface that decouples high-level platform-agnostic decision-making from task-agnostic low-level control. Our framework consists of a fully-actuated hexarotor with a 4-DoF robotic arm, an end-effector-centric whole-body model predictive controller, and a high-level policy. The high-precision end-effector controller enables efficient and intuitive aerial teleoperation for versatile tasks and facilitates the development of imitation learning policies. Real-world experiments show that the proposed framework significantly improves end-effector tracking accuracy, and can handle multiple aerial teleoperation and imitation learning tasks, including writing, peg-in-hole, pick and place, changing light bulbs, etc. We believe the proposed framework provides one way to standardize and unify aerial manipulation into the general manipulation community and to advance the field.
