Geometry-Aware Predictive Safety Filters on Humanoids: From Poisson Safety Functions to CBF Constrained MPC

  • 基于泊松安全函数从感知数据构建几何敏感的安全约束
  • 在动态环境中实现毫秒级实时安全轨迹规划,保障足式机器人通行
  • 适合需高安全性的人形/四足机器人自主导航场景

在未结构化且动态变化的环境中实现自主导航是现代机器人学持续面临的挑战。特别是,腿式机器人通常具有可操作的非对称几何形态,必须在安全关键的轨迹规划中予以考虑。本文提出一种预测性安全过滤器:一种基于控制屏障函数(CBF)的非线性模型预测控制(MPC)算法,用于在线轨迹生成并融入几何感知的安全约束。关键在于,该方法利用泊松安全函数,直接从感知数据数值合成CBF约束。我们扩展了泊松安全函数的理论框架,通过将泊松方程的静态狄利克雷问题重构为参数化的移动边界值问题,以处理域随时间的变化。此外,采用闵可夫斯基集运算将领域提升至配置空间,以体现机器人几何特性。最后,我们在人形与四足机器人上实现了该实时预测安全过滤器,并在多种安全关键场景中验证其有效性。结果表明,泊松安全函数具有高度通用性,且受CBF约束的MPC控制器显著提升了安全性与鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous navigation through unstructured and dynamically-changing environments is a complex task that continues to present many challenges for modern roboticists. In particular, legged robots typically possess manipulable asymmetric geometries which must be considered during safety-critical trajectory planning. This work proposes a predictive safety filter: a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for online trajectory generation with geometry-aware safety constraints based on control barrier functions (CBFs). Critically, our method leverages Poisson safety functions to numerically synthesize CBF constraints directly from perception data. We extend the theoretical framework for Poisson safety functions to incorporate temporal changes in the domain by reformulating the static Dirichlet problem for Poisson's equation as a parameterized moving boundary value problem. Furthermore, we employ Minkowski set operations to lift the domain into a configuration space that accounts for robot geometry. Finally, we implement our real-time predictive safety filter on humanoid and quadruped robots in various safety-critical scenarios. The results highlight the versatility of Poisson safety functions, as well as the benefit of CBF constrained model predictive safety-critical controllers.
