多机器人协作推物,用神经加速优化实现高效精准推送。

PushingBots: Collaborative Pushing via Neural Accelerated Combinatorial Hybrid Optimization

  • 分组动态分配任务,按关键帧搜索最优推法序列
  • 支持任意形状物体,实测在仿真与硬件中均有效
  • 适合多机器人协同、非抓取场景的复杂环境推送

许多机器人缺乏机械臂,且大件或圆柱形物体难以抓取。此时推动物体是一种简单有效的非抓取交互方式。现有方法通常假设预定义的推法和固定形状物体。本文解决多机器人在复杂环境中协同推动大量任意形状物体至目标位置的一般性问题,涵盖任务协调不确定性、接触模式切换、接触力受限等挑战。提出基于动态任务分配与参数化推法序列的组合混合优化框架,包含三部分:(I) 推送子任务的分解、排序与滚动分配;(II) 关键帧引导的混合搜索优化各子任务的推法序列;(III) 混合控制执行并切换推法。采用基于扩散模型的加速器预测关键帧与优先推法,显著提升规划效率。框架在温和假设下完备,仿真与硬件实验验证了其在不同机器人数量和通用形状物体下的有效性,并扩展至异构机器人、平面装配及6维推物场景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Many robots are not equipped with a manipulator and many objects are not suitable for prehensile manipulation (such as large boxes and cylinders). In these cases, pushing is a simple yet effective non-prehensile skill for robots to interact with and further change the environment. Existing work often assumes a set of predefined pushing modes and fixed-shape objects. This work tackles the general problem of controlling a robotic fleet to push collaboratively numerous arbitrary objects to respective destinations, within complex environments of cluttered and movable obstacles. It incorporates several characteristic challenges for multi-robot systems such as online task coordination under large uncertainties of cost and duration, and for contact-rich tasks such as hybrid switching among different contact modes, and under-actuation due to constrained contact forces. The proposed method is based on combinatorial hybrid optimization over dynamic task assignments and hybrid execution via sequences of pushing modes and associated forces. It consists of three main components: (I) the decomposition, ordering and rolling assignment of pushing subtasks to robot subgroups; (II) the keyframe guided hybrid search to optimize the sequence of parameterized pushing modes for each subtask; (III) the hybrid control to execute these modes and transit among them. Last but not least, a diffusion-based accelerator is adopted to predict the keyframes and pushing modes that should be prioritized during hybrid search; and further improve planning efficiency. The framework is complete under mild assumptions. Its efficiency and effectiveness under different numbers of robots and general-shaped objects are validated extensively in simulations and hardware experiments, as well as generalizations to heterogeneous robots, planar assembly and 6D pushing.
