用梯度驱动的分层能量函数,实现双臂装配的快速自适应重规划。
Building Gradient by Gradient: Decentralised Energy Functions for Bimanual Robot Assembly
- 基于分层能量函数自动构建子目标,无需长程规划。
- 在真实双臂装配中实现高精度、抗干扰的连续操作与自动重试。
- 适合需要快速响应扰动的精密装配场景,如工业自动化。
双臂装配面临诸多挑战,包括高层任务排序、多机器人协同以及依赖接触的低层操作(如部件对准)。现有任务与运动规划(TAMP)方法在面对需重新排序的任务扰动时,收敛速度可能过慢,而这类情况在高精度装配中频繁发生。为简化规划,本文提出一种去中心化的基于梯度的框架,通过自适应势能函数的自动组合构建分段连续的能量函数。该方法仅依赖局部优化生成子目标,而非长时程规划,凭借能量函数的结构化与自适应性,成功解决长时程任务。实验表明,该方法可扩展至物理双臂装配,完成高精度装配任务。我们发现,其梯度驱动的快速重规划机制能自发产生重试、协调运动与自主手递手操作。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
There are many challenges in bimanual assembly, including high-level sequencing, multi-robot coordination, and low-level, contact-rich operations such as component mating. Task and motion planning (TAMP) methods, while effective in this domain, may be prohibitively slow to converge when adapting to disturbances that require new task sequencing and optimisation. These events are common during tight-tolerance assembly, where difficult-to-model dynamics such as friction or deformation require rapid replanning and reattempts. Moreover, defining explicit task sequences for assembly can be cumbersome, limiting flexibility when task replanning is required. To simplify this planning, we introduce a decentralised gradient-based framework that uses a piecewise continuous energy function through the automatic composition of adaptive potential functions. This approach generates sub-goals using only myopic optimisation, rather than long-horizon planning. It demonstrates effectiveness at solving long-horizon tasks due to the structure and adaptivity of the energy function. We show that our approach scales to physical bimanual assembly tasks for constructing tight-tolerance assemblies. In these experiments, we discover that our gradient-based rapid replanning framework generates automatic retries, coordinated motions and autonomous handovers in an emergent fashion.
