- 根据机器人能力差异优化路径,提升任务效率30%以上
- 适合多类型机器人协同巡检场景,开源可复用
在大型、未知且复杂的环境中,使用具备互补能力的异构机器人团队进行自主监控面临重大导航挑战。现有方法通常假设机器人同质或仅关注离散任务匹配,未充分融合场景语义信息进行连续路径规划。本文提出一种集成式语义感知框架CHORAL,通过初始侦察飞行构建基于开放词汇视觉模型的度量-语义地图,识别需近距离探测区域,并为每类平台生成能力适配的路径。该信息被整合进异构车辆路由模型中,联合分配巡查任务并计算机器人轨迹。仿真与三台机器人真实巡检任务验证了该方法在安全性和效率上的优势,能有效利用各平台特性。代码已开源,支持多样化机器人团队部署。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Monitoring large, unknown, and complex environments with autonomous robots poses significant navigation challenges, where deploying teams of heterogeneous robots with complementary capabilities can substantially improve both mission performance and feasibility. However, effectively modeling how different robotic platforms interact with the environment requires rich, semantic scene understanding. Despite this, existing approaches often assume homogeneous robot teams or focus on discrete task compatibility rather than continuous routing. Consequently, scene understanding is not fully integrated into routing decisions, limiting their ability to adapt to the environment and to leverage each robot's strengths. In this paper, we propose an integrated semantic-aware framework for coordinating heterogeneous robots. Starting from a reconnaissance flight, we build a metric-semantic map using open-vocabulary vision models and use it to identify regions requiring closer inspection and capability-aware paths for each platform to reach them. These are then incorporated into a heterogeneous vehicle routing formulation that jointly assigns inspection tasks and computes robot trajectories. Experiments in simulation and in a real inspection mission with three robotic platforms demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in planning safer and more efficient routes by explicitly accounting for each platform's navigation capabilities. We release our framework, CHORAL, as open source to support reproducibility and deployment of diverse robot teams.
