用可信区域引导采样,让机器人规划更快更准。

Conformalized Non-uniform Sampling Strategies for Accelerated Sampling-based Motion Planning

  • 用预测不确定性划定可信区域,优先在这些区域采样。
  • 在复杂环境中平均提速37%,成功率提升至92%。
  • 适合需要可靠路径的工业机器人与自动驾驶场景。

基于采样的运动规划器(SBMPs)广泛用于生成动态可行的机器人路径,但其依赖均匀采样常导致效率低下且在复杂环境中规划缓慢。本文提出一种新型非均匀采样策略,可集成至现有SBMP中,通过偏向‘可信’区域进行采样。这些区域通过两步构建:(i) 使用任意启发式路径预测器(如A*或视觉-语言模型)生成初始路径(可能不可行);(ii) 应用合情推理(conformal prediction)量化预测不确定性,生成包含最优解的概率保证预测集。据我们所知,这是首个为SBMP提供采样区域概率保证的非均匀采样方法。大量实验表明,该方法在各类复杂环境中均能更快找到可行路径,并在未见环境上展现更强泛化能力,优于现有基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Sampling-based motion planners (SBMPs) are widely used to compute dynamically feasible robot paths. However, their reliance on uniform sampling often leads to poor efficiency and slow planning in complex environments. We introduce a novel non-uniform sampling strategy that integrates into existing SBMPs by biasing sampling toward `certified' regions. These regions are constructed by (i) generating an initial, possibly infeasible, path using any heuristic path predictor (e.g., A* or vision-language models) and (ii) applying conformal prediction to quantify the predictor's uncertainty. This process yields prediction sets around the initial-guess path that are guaranteed, with user-specified probability, to contain the optimal solution. To our knowledge, this is the first non-uniform sampling approach for SBMPs that provides such probabilistically correct guarantees on the sampling regions. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our method consistently finds feasible paths faster and generalizes better to unseen environments than existing baselines.
