快速切换机械臂末端配置,实现多模态实验无缝迭代。

RAPID: Reconfigurable, Adaptive Platform for Iterative Design

  • 模块化硬件+驱动层物理掩码,秒级完成配置切换。
  • 相比传统流程,多模态设置时间降低两个数量级。
  • 支持传感器热插拔,政策执行不中断,适合实验密集型研究。

机器人操作策略的开发是迭代且基于假设的:研究人员通过真实世界数据收集和训练来测试触觉传感、夹持器几何形状和传感器位置。然而,即使是末端执行器的微小改动也常需机械重新装配和系统重集成,严重拖慢迭代速度。我们提出RAPID——一个全栈可重构平台,旨在减少这一摩擦。RAPID围绕免工具的模块化硬件架构构建,统一手持数据采集与机器人部署,并配备相应的软件栈,通过从USB事件推导出的驱动层物理掩码,实时感知底层硬件配置。该模块化架构将重新配置时间缩短至秒级,使系统性多模态消融研究成为可能,无需重复系统启动即可遍历多种夹持器与传感配置。物理掩码在运行时显式暴露模态存在状态,支持自动配置与传感器热插拔下的优雅降级,确保传感器被物理插入或移除时策略仍可继续执行。系统级实验表明,与传统工作流相比,RAPID将多模态配置的设置时间减少了两个数量级,并能在运行时传感器热拔事件下保持策略执行。硬件设计、驱动程序与软件栈均已开源,地址为 https://rapid-kit.github.io/。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Developing robotic manipulation policies is iterative and hypothesis-driven: researchers test tactile sensing, gripper geometries, and sensor placements through real-world data collection and training. Yet even minor end-effector changes often require mechanical refitting and system re-integration, slowing iteration. We present RAPID, a full-stack reconfigurable platform designed to reduce this friction. RAPID is built around a tool-free, modular hardware architecture that unifies handheld data collection and robot deployment, and a matching software stack that maintains real-time awareness of the underlying hardware configuration through a driver-level Physical Mask derived from USB events. This modular hardware architecture reduces reconfiguration to seconds and makes systematic multi-modal ablation studies practical, allowing researchers to sweep diverse gripper and sensing configurations without repeated system bring-up. The Physical Mask exposes modality presence as an explicit runtime signal, enabling auto-configuration and graceful degradation under sensor hot-plug events, so policies can continue executing when sensors are physically added or removed. System-centric experiments show that RAPID reduces the setup time for multi-modal configurations by two orders of magnitude compared to traditional workflows and preserves policy execution under runtime sensor hot-unplug events. The hardware designs, drivers, and software stack are open-sourced at https://rapid-kit.github.io/ .
