  • 高阶用稀疏图建全局连通性,低阶用神经场解Eikonal方程避障
  • 在大型未知环境中实现更高精度与更强适应性,支持在线探索
  • 适合需要实时导航与地图构建的机器人系统研发者

在大规模、复杂且未知的室内环境中,机器人导航仍具挑战。传统采样方法存在分辨率控制与可扩展性问题,基于模仿学习的方法则需大量示范数据。最近出现的主动神经时间场(ANTFields)通过局部观测学习代价到目标函数,无需示范数据,但受限于谱偏差和灾难性遗忘,难以应对复杂场景。为此,本文提出分层规划框架:高阶使用稀疏图刻画环境全局连通性,低阶基于神经场求解Eikonal偏微分方程以实现局部避障。该物理信息策略有效缓解谱偏差与神经场拟合难题,生成平滑精确的代价景观表示。我们在大规模环境中验证了该框架,结果表明其相比先前方法具备更强适应性与更高精度,展现出在线探索、建图与真实场景导航的巨大潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Robot navigation in large, complex, and unknown indoor environments is a challenging problem. The existing approaches, such as traditional sampling-based methods, struggle with resolution control and scalability, while imitation learning-based methods require a large amount of demonstration data. Active Neural Time Fields (ANTFields) have recently emerged as a promising solution by using local observations to learn cost-to-go functions without relying on demonstrations. Despite their potential, these methods are hampered by challenges such as spectral bias and catastrophic forgetting, which diminish their effectiveness in complex scenarios. To address these issues, our approach decomposes the planning problem into a hierarchical structure. At the high level, a sparse graph captures the environment's global connectivity, while at the low level, a planner based on neural fields navigates local obstacles by solving the Eikonal PDE. This physics-informed strategy overcomes common pitfalls like spectral bias and neural field fitting difficulties, resulting in a smooth and precise representation of the cost landscape. We validate our framework in large-scale environments, demonstrating its enhanced adaptability and precision compared to previous methods, and highlighting its potential for online exploration, mapping, and real-world navigation.
