Structural Action Transformer for 3D Dexterous Manipulation
- 将动作视为无序关节轨迹集合,而非时间序列
- 在仿真与真实场景中均超越基线,实现跨机器人技能迁移
- 适合研究高自由度机械手控制与模仿学习的学者
通过从异构数据集学习模仿来实现机器人的人类级灵巧操作,受限于跨体态技能迁移的挑战,尤其在高自由度机械手上。现有方法通常依赖2D观测和以时间为重心的动作表示,难以捕捉3D空间关系且无法处理体态差异。本文提出结构化动作变换器(SAT),引入以结构为中心的新范式:将每个动作片段重构为可变长度、无序的关节轨迹序列,使Transformer能原生处理异构体态,将关节数量视为可变序列长度。为编码结构先验并消除歧义,引入具身关节码本,嵌入每个关节的功能角色与运动学特性。模型通过连续时间流匹配目标,从3D点云生成这些轨迹。我们在大规模异构数据集上预训练,并在仿真与真实世界灵巧操作任务上微调。结果表明,该方法持续优于所有基线,在样本效率和跨体态技能迁移方面表现卓越。此结构化表示为扩展至高自由度、异构操纵器的策略提供了新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Achieving human-level dexterity in robots via imitation learning from heterogeneous datasets is hindered by the challenge of cross-embodiment skill transfer, particularly for high-DoF robotic hands. Existing methods, often relying on 2D observations and temporal-centric action representation, struggle to capture 3D spatial relations and fail to handle embodiment heterogeneity. This paper proposes the Structural Action Transformer (SAT), a new 3D dexterous manipulation policy that challenges this paradigm by introducing a structural-centric perspective. We reframe each action chunk not as a temporal sequence, but as a variable-length, unordered sequence of joint-wise trajectories. This structural formulation allows a Transformer to natively handle heterogeneous embodiments, treating the joint count as a variable sequence length. To encode structural priors and resolve ambiguity, we introduce an Embodied Joint Codebook that embeds each joint's functional role and kinematic properties. Our model learns to generate these trajectories from 3D point clouds via a continuous-time flow matching objective. We validate our approach by pre-training on large-scale heterogeneous datasets and fine-tuning on simulation and real-world dexterous manipulation tasks. Our method consistently outperforms all baselines, demonstrating superior sample efficiency and effective cross-embodiment skill transfer. This structural-centric representation offers a new path toward scaling policies for high-DoF, heterogeneous manipulators.
