用廉价相机实时构建环境安全屏障,让机器人在未知场景中安全导航
RNBF: Real-Time RGB-D Based Neural Barrier Functions for Safe Robotic Navigation
- 基于RGB-D相机在线构建可微分的符号距离场
- 无需预训练,在真实噪声下仍保持几何平滑与梯度稳定
- 兼容现有安全控制框架,适合移动机器人实时避障
在未结构化且未知环境中实现自主安全导航面临重大挑战,尤其当仅能通过低成本视觉传感器获取环境信息时。尽管已有安全反应式方法被提出以保障复杂环境中的机器人安全,但多数依赖于对障碍物位置和几何形状的先验知识。本文提出一种实时、基于视觉的框架,完全在线构建未知环境的连续、一阶可微分符号距离场(SDF),无需任何预训练,并与现有的基于SDF的反应式控制器完全兼容。为在实际传感条件下实现鲁棒性能,该方法显式处理廉价RGB-D相机的噪声,线上优化神经SDF表示,提升几何平滑性与梯度估计稳定性。我们在仿真和真实世界中使用Fetch机器人验证了所提方法的有效性。视频与补充材料见https://satyajeetburla.github.io/rnbf/。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous safe navigation in unstructured and novel environments poses significant challenges, especially when environment information can only be provided through low-cost vision sensors. Although safe reactive approaches have been proposed to ensure robot safety in complex environments, many base their theory off the assumption that the robot has prior knowledge on obstacle locations and geometries. In this paper, we present a real-time, vision-based framework that constructs continuous, first-order differentiable Signed Distance Fields (SDFs) of unknown environments entirely online, without any pre-training, and is fully compatible with established SDF-based reactive controllers. To achieve robust performance under practical sensing conditions, our approach explicitly accounts for noise in affordable RGB-D cameras, refining the neural SDF representation online for smoother geometry and stable gradient estimates. We validate the proposed method in simulation and real-world experiments using a Fetch robot. Videos and supplementary material are available at https://satyajeetburla.github.io/rnbf/.
