物理信息神经运动规划器(PiNMPs)通过求解Eikonal偏微分方程高效建模代价到目标函数,但其可扩展性受谱偏差和训练损失景观复杂性限制。现有分域方法仅在单点强制连续性,无法捕捉运动规划所需的全局空间连通性——代价到目标函数依赖于起点与终点坐标对,而非单一查询点。本文提出有限基神经时间场(FB-NTFields),一种新型神经场表示,通过计算起点与终点在潜空间中的嵌入距离来估算代价到目标函数。该方法在保持域分解优势的同时实现全局空间一致性,支持高效的大规模运动规划。我们在复杂合成及真实场景中验证了该方法,相比现有PiNMPs性能显著提升。最后,我们成功将其部署于Unitree B1四足机器人,在室内环境中实现自主导航。补充视频见:https://youtu.be/OpRuCbLNOwM。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Physics-informed Neural Motion Planners (PiNMPs) provide a data-efficient framework for solving the Eikonal Partial Differential Equation (PDE) and representing the cost-to-go function for motion planning. However, their scalability remains limited by spectral bias and the complex loss landscape of PDE-driven training. Domain decomposition mitigates these issues by dividing the environment into smaller subdomains, but existing methods enforce continuity only at individual spatial points. While effective for function approximation, these methods fail to capture the spatial connectivity required for motion planning, where the cost-to-go function depends on both the start and goal coordinates rather than a single query point. We propose Finite Basis Neural Time Fields (FB-NTFields), a novel neural field representation for scalable cost-to-go estimation. Instead of enforcing continuity in output space, FB-NTFields construct a latent space representation, computing the cost-to-go as a distance between the latent embeddings of start and goal coordinates. This enables global spatial coherence while integrating domain decomposition, ensuring efficient large-scale motion planning. We validate FB-NTFields in complex synthetic and real-world scenarios, demonstrating substantial improvements over existing PiNMPs. Finally, we deploy our method on a Unitree B1 quadruped robot, successfully navigating indoor environments. The supplementary videos can be found at https://youtu.be/OpRuCbLNOwM.
