Rapid Mismatch Estimation via Neural Network Informed Variational Inference

  • 用神经网络生成先验,结合变分推断快速估计动力学参数
  • 400毫秒内完成质量与质心突变的动态适配
  • 适合需要安全人机协作的工业机械臂场景

随着机器人在人机共存环境中应用增多,确保软性安全的物理交互至关重要。本文聚焦阻抗控制器,使力控机器人能安全被动响应接触并准确执行任务。这类方法依赖于机器人及其操作对象的精确动力学模型,任何模型失配都会导致任务失败和不安全行为。为此,提出快速失配估计(RME)框架,一种自适应、控制器无关、基于概率的在线估计方法,仅利用机器人本体反馈即可估计末端动力学失配,无需外部力矩传感器。通过神经网络模型失配估计器生成先验,供给变分推断求解器,在静态与动态条件下实现快速收敛,并量化不确定性。使用具备先进被动阻抗控制器的7自由度机械臂实验验证,可在约400毫秒内适应末端质量与质心的突发变化。在协作场景中,人类向机器人末端安装未知篮子并动态增减重物,RME展示了无需外部传感系统即可实现快速安全的动力学自适应。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

With robots increasingly operating in human-centric environments, ensuring soft and safe physical interactions, whether with humans, surroundings, or other machines, is essential. While compliant hardware can facilitate such interactions, this work focuses on impedance controllers that allow torque-controlled robots to safely and passively respond to contact while accurately executing tasks. From inverse dynamics to quadratic programming-based controllers, the effectiveness of these methods relies on accurate dynamics models of the robot and the object it manipulates. Any model mismatch results in task failures and unsafe behaviors. Thus, we introduce Rapid Mismatch Estimation (RME), an adaptive, controller-agnostic, probabilistic framework that estimates end-effector dynamics mismatches online, without relying on external force-torque sensors. From the robot's proprioceptive feedback, a Neural Network Model Mismatch Estimator generates a prior for a Variational Inference solver, which rapidly converges to the unknown parameters while quantifying uncertainty. With a real 7-DoF manipulator driven by a state-of-the-art passive impedance controller, RME adapts to sudden changes in mass and center of mass at the end-effector in $\sim400$ ms, in static and dynamic settings. We demonstrate RME in a collaborative scenario where a human attaches an unknown basket to the robot's end-effector and dynamically adds/removes heavy items, showcasing fast and safe adaptation to changing dynamics during physical interaction without any external sensory system.
