Self-Augmented Robot Trajectory: Efficient Imitation Learning via Safe Self-augmentation with Demonstrator-annotated Precision
- 用人类示范+关键点精度边界标注,实现安全自增轨迹。
- 在仿真与真实任务中成功率显著高于仅依赖人工示范的模型。
- 适合需要减少人工干预、保障操作安全的机器人场景。
模仿学习是训练机器人智能体的有前景范式,但传统方法通常需要大量数据采集——通过多次示范或随机探索——以确保可靠性能。尽管探索可减少人力投入,却缺乏安全保证,尤其在空间受限任务(如插销入孔)中易引发频繁碰撞,导致需人工重置环境,增加额外负担。本研究提出自增强机器人轨迹(SART)框架,仅需一次人类示范,即可通过自主安全扩增数据进行策略学习。SART分为两个阶段:(1) 仅需一次人类教学,提供单次示范并标注关键路径点的精度边界(以球形区域表示),随后一次环境重置;(2) 机器人在边界内自主生成多样化且无碰撞的轨迹,并与原示范连接。该设计极大降低人力需求同时保障安全性。仿真与真实世界操控任务的广泛评估表明,SART在成功率上显著优于仅基于人工示范训练的策略。视频演示见 https://sites.google.com/view/sart-il。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Imitation learning is a promising paradigm for training robot agents; however, standard approaches typically require substantial data acquisition -- via numerous demonstrations or random exploration -- to ensure reliable performance. Although exploration reduces human effort, it lacks safety guarantees and often results in frequent collisions -- particularly in clearance-limited tasks (e.g., peg-in-hole) -- thereby, necessitating manual environmental resets and imposing additional human burden. This study proposes Self-Augmented Robot Trajectory (SART), a framework that enables policy learning from a single human demonstration, while safely expanding the dataset through autonomous augmentation. SART consists of two stages: (1) human teaching only once, where a single demonstration is provided and precision boundaries -- represented as spheres around key waypoints -- are annotated, followed by one environment reset; (2) robot self-augmentation, where the robot generates diverse, collision-free trajectories within these boundaries and reconnects to the original demonstration. This design improves the data collection efficiency by minimizing human effort while ensuring safety. Extensive evaluations in simulation and real-world manipulation tasks show that SART achieves substantially higher success rates than policies trained solely on human-collected demonstrations.
