用一致性模型加速机器人共自主,实现毫秒级实时辅助。

FlashBack: Consistency Model-Accelerated Shared Autonomy

  • 基于一致性模型的扩散过程,单步生成高保真动作
  • 推理速度比之前方法快数个数量级,支持实时交互
  • 可在中间状态干预,灵活调节辅助程度,适合复杂控制场景

共自主技术使用户能够控制原本难以直接操作的机器人。传统方法需预设用户目标、奖励函数或策略,且需训练时持续查询用户,限制实际应用。基于扩散模型的方法无需这些假设,仅需行为示范即可实现用户控制权,但计算开销大,难以实现实时性。为此,本文提出一致性共自主(CSA),采用一致性模型的扩散形式,利用常微分方程的提炼概率流,在单步内生成高质量样本,显著提升推理速度,仅需一次函数评估即可实现复杂场景下的实时辅助。通过在概率流中间状态干预错误动作,可动态调节辅助强度。在多种模拟与真实机器人控制任务中验证,CSA 在任务性能和计算效率上均显著优于现有最优方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Shared autonomy is an enabling technology that provides users with control authority over robots that would otherwise be difficult if not impossible to directly control. Yet, standard methods make assumptions that limit their adoption in practice-for example, prior knowledge of the user's goals or the objective (i.e., reward) function that they wish to optimize, knowledge of the user's policy, or query-level access to the user during training. Diffusion-based approaches to shared autonomy do not make such assumptions and instead only require access to demonstrations of desired behaviors, while allowing the user to maintain control authority. However, these advantages have come at the expense of high computational complexity, which has made real-time shared autonomy all but impossible. To overcome this limitation, we propose Consistency Shared Autonomy (CSA), a shared autonomy framework that employs a consistency model-based formulation of diffusion. Key to CSA is that it employs the distilled probability flow of ordinary differential equations (PF ODE) to generate high-fidelity samples in a single step. This results in inference speeds significantly than what is possible with previous diffusion-based approaches to shared autonomy, enabling real-time assistance in complex domains with only a single function evaluation. Further, by intervening on flawed actions at intermediate states of the PF ODE, CSA enables varying levels of assistance. We evaluate CSA on a variety of challenging simulated and real-world robot control problems, demonstrating significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods both in terms of task performance and computational efficiency.
