用机器人篮子抓空中飞物,精准预测落点位置。

OIPP: Object-Adaptive Impact Point Predictor for Catching Diverse In-Flight Objects

  • 根据物体运动历史自适应提取特征,动态建模不同飞物轨迹
  • 在15种已见和5种未见物体上实现更准的早期落点预测
  • 真实机器人实验验证,适合复杂空域抓取任务

本研究针对四足机器人持篮抓取空中飞物的问题,旨在准确预测物体的落地位置(影响点)。该任务面临两大挑战:缺乏公开数据集涵盖多样物体在非稳态空气动力学下的运动;以及当物体轨迹相似时,早期阶段难以准确预测影响点。为此,我们构建了包含8000条轨迹、20种物体的真实世界数据集,为复杂空气动力学下飞行物体抓取提供训练基础。提出物体自适应影响点预测器(OIPP),由两部分组成:(i) 物体自适应编码器(OAE)从运动历史中提取物体相关表征;(ii) 影响点预测器(IPP)基于这些表征估计落点。设计两种实现方式:基于神经加速度估计器(NAE)的方法预测轨迹并推导落点,基于直接点估计器(DPE)的方法直接输出落点。实验表明,本数据集比现有数据集更具多样性和复杂性,所提方法在15种已见与5种未见物体上均优于基线。此外,早期预测精度提升显著提高模拟抓取成功率,并通过真实机器人实验验证了方法有效性。演示视频见 https://sites.google.com/view/robot-catching-2025。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this study, we address the problem of in-flight object catching using a quadruped robot with a basket. Our objective is to accurately predict the impact point, defined as the object's landing position. This task poses two key challenges: the absence of public datasets capturing diverse objects under unsteady aerodynamics, which are essential for training reliable predictors; and the difficulty of accurate early-stage impact point prediction when trajectories appear similar across objects. To overcome these issues, we construct a real-world dataset of 8,000 trajectories from 20 objects, providing a foundation for advancing in-flight object catching under complex aerodynamics. We then propose the Object-Adaptive Impact Point Predictor (OIPP), consisting of two modules: (i) an Object-Adaptive Encoder (OAE) that extracts object-dependent representations from motion histories, and (ii) an Impact Point Predictor (IPP) that estimates the impact point from these representations. Two IPP variants are implemented: a Neural Acceleration Estimator (NAE)-based method that predicts trajectories and derives the impact point, and a Direct Point Estimator (DPE)-based method that directly outputs it. Experimental results show that our dataset is more diverse and complex than existing datasets, and that our method outperforms baselines on both 15 seen and 5 unseen objects. Furthermore, we show that improved early-stage prediction enhances catching success in simulation and demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through real-robot experiments. The demonstration is available at https://sites.google.com/view/robot-catching-2025.
