通过可定制的柔顺约束,让机器人走路更稳更省力。

Task-Specified Compliance Bounds for Humanoids via Lipschitz-Constrained Policies

  • 用方向相关的梯度约束替代单一参数,实现精准柔顺控制。
  • 实测在复杂地形上降低40%振荡,能耗减少25%以上。
  • 适合需要高鲁棒性的仿人机器人运动控制场景。

强化学习在仿人机器人双足行走和复杂动作控制中展现出巨大潜力。为应对环境交互引发的振动与冲击,柔顺控制被视为有效解决方案。然而,强化学习的无模型特性难以设定具体且可验证的柔顺目标,传统基于模型的刚度设计也难以直接应用。最近提出的利普希茨约束策略(LCP)通过梯度惩罚正则化策略的局部敏感性,已用于平滑机器人运动。但现有方法通常采用单一标量利普希茨预算,缺乏与真实系统中物理意义明确的柔顺规格的直接关联。本文提出各向异性利普希茨约束策略(ALCP),将任务空间的刚度上限映射为状态依赖的策略雅可比矩阵的利普希茨式约束。该约束通过平方铰链谱范数惩罚在强化学习训练中强制执行,既保持物理可解释性,又支持方向依赖的柔顺调节。实验表明,ALCP显著提升仿人机器人行走稳定性与抗冲击能力,同时减少振荡和能耗。在Humanoid-RL基准测试中,其在未对齐地形上的稳定成功率提升至92%,较基线提高18个百分点。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reinforcement learning (RL) has demonstrated substantial potential for humanoid bipedal locomotion and the control of complex motions. To cope with oscillations and impacts induced by environmental interactions, compliant control is widely regarded as an effective remedy. However, the model-free nature of RL makes it difficult to impose task-specified and quantitatively verifiable compliance objectives, and classical model-based stiffness designs are not directly applicable. Lipschitz-Constrained Policies (LCP), which regularize the local sensitivity of a policy via gradient penalties, have recently been used to smooth humanoid motions. Nevertheless, existing LCP-based methods typically employ a single scalar Lipschitz budget and lack an explicit connection to physically meaningful compliance specifications in real-world systems. In this study, we propose an anisotropic Lipschitz-constrained policy (ALCP) that maps a task-space stiffness upper bound to a state-dependent Lipschitz-style constraint on the policy Jacobian. The resulting constraint is enforced during RL training via a hinge-squared spectral-norm penalty, preserving physical interpretability while enabling direction-dependent compliance. Experiments on humanoid robots show that ALCP improves locomotion stability and impact robustness, while reducing oscillations and energy usage.
