- 用ICP与位姿图优化生成伪标签,实现纯自监督训练
- 在四足机器人上实现优于传统方法的定位精度,误差降低18%
- 适合缺乏标注数据的复杂运动场景,如野外或动态环境
惯性测量单元(IMU)通过高频加速度和角速度数据成为机器人系统的核心传感模态。深度神经网络的进展显著提升了惯性里程计性能,但对真实轨迹数据的依赖严重制约了其可扩展性和跨环境泛化能力。本文提出KISS-IMU,一种新型自监督惯性里程计框架,通过简单的激光雷达ICP注册与位姿图优化生成监督信号,摆脱对真值数据的依赖。方法基于两大原则:运动感知的平衡训练以保持IMU稳定性,以及推理时基于不确定性的自适应加权以增强鲁棒性。在多种真实平台(包括四足机器人)上进行综合实验验证,仅需自监督训练IMU网络,激光雷达仅作为轻量级监督信号,无需额外可学习模块。该设计使系统在不依赖多模态联合学习或真值监督的前提下,仍具备强鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Inertial measurement units (IMUs), which provide high-frequency linear acceleration and angular velocity measurements, serve as fundamental sensing modalities in robotic systems. Recent advances in deep neural networks have led to remarkable progress in inertial odometry. However, the heavy reliance on ground truth data during training fundamentally limits scalability and generalization to unseen and diverse environments. We propose KISS-IMU, a novel self-supervised inertial odometry framework that eliminates ground truth dependency by leveraging simple LiDAR-based ICP registration and pose graph optimization as a supervisory signal. Our approach embodies two key principles: keeping the IMU stable through motion-aware balanced training and keeping the IMU strong through uncertainty-driven adaptive weighting during inference. To evaluate performance across diverse motion patterns and scenarios, we conducted comprehensive experiments on various real-world platforms, including quadruped robots. Importantly, we train only the IMU network in a self-supervised manner, with LiDAR serving solely as a lightweight supervisory signal rather than requiring additional learnable processes. This design enables the framework to ensure robustness without relying on joint multi-modal learning or ground truth supervision.
