随着机器人越来越多地融入人类环境,理解与预测人类运动对实现安全高效的交互至关重要。现代人体运动与行为预测方法需要高质量、大体量的数据进行训练与评估,通常依赖于动作捕捉系统或机载/固定传感器。然而,这些系统的硬件部署复杂、校准繁琐,易受遮挡影响且成本高昂,难以在新环境或大型场景中应用,限制了真实世界数据的获取。本文探索将新型超宽带(UWB)定位技术作为拥挤、遮挡严重环境中的可扩展人体运动捕捉替代方案。研究融合眼动追踪、机器人机载激光雷达与雷达等多模态传感器,并以动作捕捉数据作为评估基准。实验模拟博物馆场景,四名参与者自然导航至随机目标,共收集超过130分钟的多模态数据。本研究为超越视觉系统的可扩展、高精度运动数据采集提供了可行路径,为在仓库、机场或会展中心等复杂环境中评估UWB等传感模态奠定了基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
With robots increasingly integrating into human environments, understanding and predicting human motion is essential for safe and efficient interactions. Modern human motion and activity prediction approaches require high quality and quantity of data for training and evaluation, usually collected from motion capture systems, onboard or stationary sensors. Setting up these systems is challenging due to the intricate setup of hardware components, extensive calibration procedures, occlusions, and substantial costs. These constraints make deploying such systems in new and large environments difficult and limit their usability for in-the-wild measurements. In this paper we investigate the possibility to apply the novel Ultra-Wideband (UWB) localization technology as a scalable alternative for human motion capture in crowded and occlusion-prone environments. We include additional sensing modalities such as eye-tracking, onboard robot LiDAR and radar sensors, and record motion capture data as ground truth for evaluation and comparison. The environment imitates a museum setup, with up to four active participants navigating toward random goals in a natural way, and offers more than 130 minutes of multi-modal data. Our investigation provides a step toward scalable and accurate motion data collection beyond vision-based systems, laying a foundation for evaluating sensing modalities like UWB in larger and complex environments like warehouses, airports, or convention centers.
