- 适合需要快速响应的多人群体场景机器人导航
随着机器人越来越多地融入日常环境,确保其在人类周围安全导航变得至关重要。在超市或护理中心等受限空间中,机器人需应对多人互动。以往研究采用贝叶斯框架,基于导航意图建模人类理性,以预测概率轨迹用于规划。本文提出一种简单而新颖的置信度感知预测方法,将未来预测视为粒子,并在图形处理单元(GPU)上高度并行化加速。该方法实现了125 Hz的长时序预测频率,可轻松扩展至多人类预测。相比现有方法,本方案支持更细粒度的时间步长,提供更精细的轨迹预测,使运动规划器能有效响应人类行为的细微变化。我们在真实场景中验证了该方法,证明机器人可在多个具有不同导航目标的人群中安全通行。结果表明,该方法在动态环境中具备鲁棒且高效的机器人-人类共存潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As robots increasingly integrate into everyday environments, ensuring their safe navigation around humans becomes imperative. Efficient and safe motion planning requires robots to account for human behavior, particularly in constrained spaces such as grocery stores or care homes, where interactions with multiple individuals are common. Prior research has employed Bayesian frameworks to model human rationality based on navigational intent, enabling the prediction of probabilistic trajectories for planning purposes. In this work, we present a simple yet novel approach for confidence-aware prediction that treats future predictions as particles. This framework is highly parallelized and accelerated on an graphics processing unit (GPU). As a result, this enables longer-term predictions at a frequency of 125 Hz and can be easily extended for multi-human predictions. Compared to existing methods, our implementation supports finer prediction time steps, yielding more granular trajectory forecasts. This enhanced resolution allows motion planners to respond effectively to subtle changes in human behavior. We validate our approach through real-world experiments, demonstrating a robot safely navigating among multiple humans with diverse navigational goals. Our results highlight the methods potential for robust and efficient human-robot coexistence in dynamic environments.
