Temporally-Sampled Efficiently Adaptive State Lattices for Autonomous Ground Robot Navigation in Partially Observed Environments
- 通过时间采样融合历史轨迹优化当前规划
- 实测中避免了手动干预,稳定性显著提升
- 适合复杂野外环境的自主导航系统
由于传感器限制,非结构化地形中的移动机器人通常只能部分观测环境。随着机器人前进,感知到的新信息会持续更新最优路径。传统导航架构中,区域规划器输出的参考轨迹在连续规划周期间可能差异巨大,导致局部规划器行为不稳,常需人工干预。为此,本文提出时序采样高效自适应状态栅格(TSEASL),一种区域规划仲裁架构,将新生成的轨迹与先前优化过的轨迹进行对比并融合。在Clearpath Robotics Warthog无人地面车辆上测试,使用TSEASL时,机器人在以往需人工干预的区域实现了无干预通行;同时相较基线方法,规划稳定性明显提高。论文最后讨论了进一步改进方向,以增强其在多种非结构化场景下的泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Due to sensor limitations, environments that off-road mobile robots operate in are often only partially observable. As the robots move throughout the environment and towards their goal, the optimal route is continuously revised as the sensors perceive new information. In traditional autonomous navigation architectures, a regional motion planner will consume the environment map and output a trajectory for the local motion planner to use as a reference. Due to the continuous revision of the regional plan guidance as a result of changing map information, the reference trajectories which are passed down to the local planner can differ significantly across sequential planning cycles. This rapidly changing guidance can result in unsafe navigation behavior, often requiring manual safety interventions during autonomous traversals in off-road environments. To remedy this problem, we propose Temporally-Sampled Efficiently Adaptive State Lattices (TSEASL), which is a regional planner arbitration architecture that considers updated and optimized versions of previously generated trajectories against the currently generated trajectory. When tested on a Clearpath Robotics Warthog Unmanned Ground Vehicle as well as real map data collected from the Warthog, results indicate that when running TSEASL, the robot did not require manual interventions in the same locations where the robot was running the baseline planner. Additionally, higher levels of planner stability were recorded with TSEASL over the baseline. The paper concludes with a discussion of further improvements to TSEASL in order to make it more generalizable to various off-road autonomy scenarios.
