让海上无人船零样本实现实时避障导航

Sim2Sea: Sim-to-Real Policy Transfer for Maritime Vessel Navigation in Congested Waters

  • 用并行仿真+双流时空策略,精准模拟复杂海况
  • 纯仿真训练的策略成功在真实17吨船零样本部署
  • 专为港口密集水域设计,适合智能航运系统

在拥挤海域实现自主航行是诸多实际应用的关键能力,但受限于船舶间复杂交互与环境不确定性,仍面临挑战。现有方法因仿真与现实差距大而难以落地,主要源于仿真精度不足、态势感知欠缺及探索策略不安全。为此,我们提出Sim2Sea框架,从三方面突破:首先构建基于GPU加速的并行仿真器,实现高效高保真场景生成;其次设计双流时空策略网络,结合速度-障碍物引导的动作掩码机制,保障安全高效的探索;最后采用定向域随机化策略缩小仿真到现实的差距。仿真结果表明,该方法收敛更快、轨迹更安全。更重要的是,仅在仿真中训练的策略实现了零样本迁移至一艘17吨无人船,在真实拥挤水域成功运行,验证了其在实际自主航海中的可靠性和有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous navigation in congested maritime environments is a critical capability for a wide range of real-world applications. However, it remains an unresolved challenge due to complex vessel interactions and significant environmental uncertainties. Existing methods often fail in practical deployment due to a substantial sim-to-real gap, which stems from imprecise simulation, inadequate situational awareness, and unsafe exploration strategies. To address these, we propose \textbf{Sim2Sea}, a comprehensive framework designed to bridge simulation and real-world execution. Sim2Sea advances in three key aspects. First, we develop a GPU-accelerated parallel simulator for scalable and accurate maritime scenario simulation. Second, we design a dual-stream spatiotemporal policy that handles complex dynamics and multi-modal perception, augmented with a velocity-obstacle-guided action masking mechanism to ensure safe and efficient exploration. Finally, a targeted domain randomization scheme helps bridge the sim-to-real gap. Simulation results demonstrate that our method achieves faster convergence and safer trajectories than established baselines. In addition, our policy trained purely in simulation successfully transfers zero-shot to a 17-ton unmanned vessel operating in real-world congested waters. These results validate the effectiveness of Sim2Sea in achieving reliable sim-to-real transfer for practical autonomous maritime navigation.
