可穿戴外骨骼能在特定任务中增强人力并减轻肌肉疲劳,但开发个性化且任务通用的辅助算法仍是关键挑战。为此,本文提出一种元模仿学习方法:利用任务特异性神经网络预测人体肘关节运动,实现高效辅助并提升对新场景的泛化能力。为加速数据收集,从公开的RGB视频和动捕数据集中提取全身关键点运动,并在仿真中重定向。仿真生成的肘关节屈曲轨迹用于在模型无关元学习(MAML)框架下训练任务特异性神经网络,使其仅需少量梯度更新即可快速适应新任务和未见用户。经调整的网络输出个性化参考轨迹,由重力补偿的PD控制器跟踪,确保辅助稳定。实验表明,相比无辅助情况,该系统在新用户执行未训练任务时显著降低了肌肉激活与代谢成本。结果表明,该框架有效提升了可穿戴外骨骼的任务泛化性与用户适应能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Wearable exoskeletons can augment human strength and reduce muscle fatigue during specific tasks. However, developing personalized and task-generalizable assistance algorithms remains a critical challenge. To address this, a meta-imitation learning approach is proposed. This approach leverages a task-specific neural network to predict human elbow joint movements, enabling effective assistance while enhancing generalization to new scenarios. To accelerate data collection, full-body keypoint motions are extracted from publicly available RGB video and motion-capture datasets across multiple tasks, and subsequently retargeted in simulation. Elbow flexion trajectories generated in simulation are then used to train the task-specific neural network within the model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) framework, which allows the network to rapidly adapt to novel tasks and unseen users with only a few gradient updates. The adapted network outputs personalized references tracked by a gravity-compensated PD controller to ensure stable assistance. Experimental results demonstrate that the exoskeleton significantly reduces both muscle activation and metabolic cost for new users performing untrained tasks, compared to performing without exoskeleton assistance. These findings suggest that the proposed framework effectively improves task generalization and user adaptability for wearable exoskeleton systems.
