- 适合需稳定抓取散状物的机器人应用,如厨房服务。
机器人舀取食物是餐饮服务机器人关键操作技能。现有学习算法,尤其是示范学习方法,在应对多变动态的食物状态时仍易导致洒漏,影响可靠性。本文提出GRITS:一种面向机器人舀食物任务的防洒引导扩散策略。该框架利用引导式扩散策略减少舀取过程中的食物洒漏,并确保物品从起点到目标位置的可靠转移。具体地,设计了一种洒漏预测器,基于当前观测与动作轨迹预估洒漏概率。该预测器在包含四种基础形状(球体、立方体、圆锥体、圆柱体)及不同质量、摩擦系数和颗粒大小的模拟数据集上训练。推理时,预测器作为可微分引导信号,引导扩散采样过程向更安全的轨迹偏移,同时保证任务成功。我们在真实机器人平台上验证GRITS,训练于六类食物,评估于十类未见食物(不同形状与数量)。GRITS实现82%任务成功率与4%洒漏率,相比无引导基线,洒漏减少超40%,证明其有效性。更多细节见项目主页:https://hcis-lab.github.io/GRITS/
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robotic food scooping is a critical manipulation skill for food preparation and service robots. However, existing robot learning algorithms, especially learn-from-demonstration methods, still struggle to handle diverse and dynamic food states, which often results in spillage and reduced reliability. In this work, we introduce GRITS: A Spillage-Aware Guided Diffusion Policy for Robot Food Scooping Tasks. This framework leverages guided diffusion policy to minimize food spillage during scooping and to ensure reliable transfer of food items from the initial to the target location. Specifically, we design a spillage predictor that estimates the probability of spillage given current observation and action rollout. The predictor is trained on a simulated dataset with food spillage scenarios, constructed from four primitive shapes (spheres, cubes, cones, and cylinders) with varied physical properties such as mass, friction, and particle size. At inference time, the predictor serves as a differentiable guidance signal, steering the diffusion sampling process toward safer trajectories while preserving task success. We validate GRITS on a real-world robotic food scooping platform. GRITS is trained on six food categories and evaluated on ten unseen categories with different shapes and quantities. GRITS achieves an 82% task success rate and a 4% spillage rate, reducing spillage by over 40% compared to baselines without guidance, thereby demonstrating its effectiveness.
