让机器人在真实环境中5秒内自适应调整控制策略,解决仿真到现实的性能下降问题。

Learning on the Fly: Rapid Policy Adaptation via Differentiable Simulation

  • 通过可微分仿真在线学习残差动力学,实时更新模型捕捉未知扰动。
  • 在真实四轴飞行器上实现5秒内自适应,悬停误差降低81%(对比L1-MPC)。
  • 适合需要快速响应环境变化的无人机、机器人等实时控制系统应用。

在仿真中学习控制策略可实现先进机器人能力的快速、安全与低成本开发。然而,由于仿真与现实之间的差距,未建模的动力学和环境扰动会导致策略性能下降。现有方法如领域随机化和Real2Sim2Real流程虽能提升鲁棒性,但或在分布外条件下表现不佳,或需耗时的离线重训练。本文提出一种新思路:不依赖部署前的多样化训练,而是实现在线快速适应。我们设计了一个统一残差动力学学习与实时策略调整的可微分仿真框架。从简单动力学模型出发,系统持续利用真实世界数据优化模型,以捕捉负载变化、风扰等未建模效应。该优化后的动力学模型嵌入可微分仿真,支持梯度反向传播,从而实现超越经典强化学习方法(如PPO)的高效策略更新。整个系统专为快速适应设计,使策略在5秒内即可应对未见过的扰动。我们在仿真与真实世界中验证了该方法在多种干扰下的敏捷四轴飞行器控制效果,相比L1-MPC降低悬停误差达81%,相比DATT降低55%,并在无需显式状态估计的情况下展现出视觉控制的鲁棒性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learning control policies in simulation enables rapid, safe, and cost-effective development of advanced robotic capabilities. However, transferring these policies to the real world remains difficult due to the sim-to-real gap, where unmodeled dynamics and environmental disturbances can degrade policy performance. Existing approaches, such as domain randomization and Real2Sim2Real pipelines, can improve policy robustness, but either struggle under out-of-distribution conditions or require costly offline retraining. In this work, we approach these problems from a different perspective. Instead of relying on diverse training conditions before deployment, we focus on rapidly adapting the learned policy in the real world in an online fashion. To achieve this, we propose a novel online adaptive learning framework that unifies residual dynamics learning with real-time policy adaptation inside a differentiable simulation. Starting from a simple dynamics model, our framework refines the model continuously with real-world data to capture unmodeled effects and disturbances such as payload changes and wind. The refined dynamics model is embedded in a differentiable simulation framework, enabling gradient backpropagation through the dynamics and thus rapid, sample-efficient policy updates beyond the reach of classical RL methods like PPO. All components of our system are designed for rapid adaptation, enabling the policy to adjust to unseen disturbances within 5 seconds of training. We validate the approach on agile quadrotor control under various disturbances in both simulation and the real world. Our framework reduces hovering error by up to 81% compared to L1-MPC and 55% compared to DATT, while also demonstrating robustness in vision-based control without explicit state estimation.
