用AI预测双足机器人在崎岖地形的失稳风险,实现更安全高效的导航。

STATE-NAV: Stability-Aware Traversability Estimation for Bipedal Navigation on Rough Terrain

  • 基于Transformer的神经网络预测双足行走失稳与不确定性
  • 定义稳定性感知的速度可通行性,实现风险可控的最快速度规划
  • 结合RRT*与模型预测控制,适合复杂不平地形的实时导航

双足机器人在人机交互环境中有优势,但相比轮式或四足平台面临更高失败风险。现有方法对双足可通行性的研究多依赖人工规则,未充分考虑粗糙地形上的运动稳定性。本文提出首个面向双足机器人在多样不平环境中的学习型可通行性估计与风险敏感导航框架。TravFormer是一种基于Transformer的神经网络,可预测双足失稳及其不确定性,支持风险感知与自适应规划。据此定义可通行性为稳定性感知的指令速度——即在失稳率低于用户设定阈值前提下的最高速度。该速度型可通行性被整合进分层规划器,结合可通行性引导的快速随机树星(TravRRT*)实现高效路径规划,以及模型预测控制(MPC)保障安全执行。我们在MuJoCo仿真和真实世界中验证了方法,结果表明其在不同地形下均显著提升导航性能,兼具更强鲁棒性与更高时间效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Bipedal robots have advantages in maneuvering human-centered environments, but face greater failure risk compared to other stable mobile platforms such as wheeled or quadrupedal robots. While learning-based traversability has been widely studied for these platforms, bipedal traversability has instead relied on manually designed rules with limited consideration of locomotion stability on rough terrain. In this work, we present the first learning-based traversability estimation and risk-sensitive navigation framework for bipedal robots operating in diverse, uneven environments. TravFormer, a transformer-based neural network, is trained to predict bipedal instability with uncertainty, enabling risk-aware and adaptive planning. Based on the network, we define traversability as stability-aware command velocity-the fastest command velocity that keeps instability below a user-defined limit. This velocity-based traversability is integrated into a hierarchical planner that combines traversability-informed Rapid Random Tree Star (TravRRT*) for time-efficient planning and Model Predictive Control (MPC) for safe execution. We validate our method in MuJoCo simulation and the real world, demonstrating improved navigation performance, with enhanced robustness and time efficiency across varying terrains compared to existing methods.
