统一机器人导航框架,让强化学习模型跨域通用。
RoboRAN: A Unified Robotics Framework for Reinforcement Learning-Based Autonomous Navigation
- 模块化设计支持多类型机器人无缝切换训练
- 真实世界实验验证了从仿真到实机的迁移效果
- 开源接口可快速部署策略,适合跨域研究者使用
自主机器人需在陆地、水体、空中及太空等多样化环境中导航与作业。尽管强化学习(RL)在特定机器人任务中表现优异,但现有框架和基准常局限于单一平台,限制了泛化能力与公平比较。本文提出一个跨域统一框架,用于训练、评估和部署基于强化学习的导航策略。主要贡献包括:(1)可扩展的模块化框架,支持机器人与任务间的灵活替换和可复现的训练流程;(2)通过多个真实机器人实验验证了仿真到现实的迁移能力,涵盖卫星机器人模拟器、无人水面艇和轮式地面车;(3)首次开源支持将Isaac Lab训练的策略部署至真实机器人,实现轻量推理与快速现场验证;(4)建立统一的任务与评估指标体系,构建跨介质(水、陆、空)评估测试平台,全面衡量导航性能。该框架保障了仿真与现实的一致性,降低了开发适应性强化学习导航策略的门槛。其模块化结构可通过预设模板轻松集成新机器人与新任务,推动研究可复现性与多领域扩展。为支持社区发展,我们已公开发布RoboRAN代码。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous robots must navigate and operate in diverse environments, from terrestrial and aquatic settings to aerial and space domains. While Reinforcement Learning (RL) has shown promise in training policies for specific autonomous robots, existing frameworks and benchmarks are often constrained to unique platforms, limiting generalization and fair comparisons across different mobility systems. In this paper, we present a multi-domain framework for training, evaluating and deploying RL-based navigation policies across diverse robotic platforms and operational environments. Our work presents four key contributions: (1) a scalable and modular framework, facilitating seamless robot-task interchangeability and reproducible training pipelines; (2) sim-to-real transfer demonstrated through real-world experiments with multiple robots, including a satellite robotic simulator, an unmanned surface vessel, and a wheeled ground vehicle; (3) the release of the first open-source API for deploying Isaac Lab-trained policies to real robots, enabling lightweight inference and rapid field validation; and (4) uniform tasks and metrics for cross-medium evaluation, through a unified evaluation testbed to assess performance of navigation tasks in diverse operational conditions (aquatic, terrestrial and space). By ensuring consistency between simulation and real-world deployment, RoboRAN lowers the barrier to developing adaptable RL-based navigation strategies. Its modular design enables straightforward integration of new robots and tasks through predefined templates, fostering reproducibility and extension to diverse domains. To support the community, we release RoboRAN as open-source.
