让便宜机器人看懂重要物品,智能避障导航

Vision-Aided Online A* Path Planning for Efficient and Safe Navigation of Service Robots

  • 用轻量语义模型识别关键视觉障碍物,动态更新地图
  • 实测在真实机器人上实现毫秒级响应,安全通过复杂环境
  • 适合办公室、工厂等需避让敏感物品的低成本服务机器人

在人机共处环境中部署自主服务机器人面临感知与规划脱节的挑战。传统导航系统依赖昂贵的激光雷达,虽几何精度高但缺乏语义理解,无法区分办公桌上的重要文件与普通垃圾,均视为可通行区域。尽管已有先进的语义分割技术,但尚未有工作将视觉智能有效集成至实时路径规划器中,且难以在低功耗嵌入式硬件上运行。本文提出一种框架,实现低成本机器人平台上的上下文感知导航。核心在于将轻量级感知模块与在线A*规划器紧密融合:感知系统使用语义分割模型识别用户定义的视觉约束,使机器人能基于任务重要性而非仅物理尺寸进行导航;操作员可自定义关键目标(如办公室敏感文件或工厂安全线),解决避障模糊性。这些视觉约束被投影为非几何障碍物,叠加至由传感器数据持续更新的全局地图中,支持在部分已知和未知环境中稳健导航。通过高保真仿真与真实机器人平台的大量实验验证,结果表明该框架具备鲁棒的实时性能,证明低成本机器人可在复杂环境中安全通行,并尊重传统规划器无法察觉的重要视觉线索。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The deployment of autonomous service robots in human-centric environments is hindered by a critical gap in perception and planning. Traditional navigation systems rely on expensive LiDARs that, while geometrically precise, are semantically unaware, they cannot distinguish a important document on an office floor from a harmless piece of litter, treating both as physically traversable. While advanced semantic segmentation exists, no prior work has successfully integrated this visual intelligence into a real-time path planner that is efficient enough for low-cost, embedded hardware. This paper presents a framework to bridge this gap, delivering context-aware navigation on an affordable robotic platform. Our approach centers on a novel, tight integration of a lightweight perception module with an online A* planner. The perception system employs a semantic segmentation model to identify user-defined visual constraints, enabling the robot to navigate based on contextual importance rather than physical size alone. This adaptability allows an operator to define what is critical for a given task, be it sensitive papers in an office or safety lines in a factory, thus resolving the ambiguity of what to avoid. This semantic perception is seamlessly fused with geometric data. The identified visual constraints are projected as non-geometric obstacles onto a global map that is continuously updated from sensor data, enabling robust navigation through both partially known and unknown environments. We validate our framework through extensive experiments in high-fidelity simulations and on a real-world robotic platform. The results demonstrate robust, real-time performance, proving that a cost-effective robot can safely navigate complex environments while respecting critical visual cues invisible to traditional planners.
