Efficient and Reliable Teleoperation through Real-to-Sim-to-Real Shared Autonomy
- 用kNN建模操作者行为,在仿真中训练纠错智能体
- 16人实验表明新手成功率提升,老手操作更高效
- 适合需要高精度远程操作的工业场景
精细且接触丰富的远程操控在现实任务中仍缓慢、易出错且不可靠,即使对经验丰富的操作员也是如此。共享自主通过结合人类意图与自动化辅助来改善性能,但学习有效的辅助策略需要真实的人类行为模型,这在实践中难以获得。我们提出一种真实-仿真-真实共享自主框架,利用少量(不足5分钟)真实操作数据训练一个简单的k近邻(kNN)人类代理模型,用于仿真中的行为建模。该代理使基于无模型强化学习的残差副驾驶策略得以稳定训练。所生成的副驾驶被部署到真实世界的精细操控任务中。通过仿真实验和16名参与者在螺母拧入、齿轮啮合、插销等工业相关任务上的用户研究,结果表明:相比直接远程操控及依赖专家先验或行为克隆的共享自主基线方法,本系统显著提升了新手的任务成功率,并提高了老手的操作效率。此外,副驾驶辅助的远程操控还能生成更高质量的示范数据,适用于后续模仿学习。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Fine-grained, contact-rich teleoperation remains slow, error-prone, and unreliable in real-world manipulation tasks, even for experienced operators. Shared autonomy offers a promising way to improve performance by combining human intent with automated assistance, but learning effective assistance in simulation requires a faithful model of human behavior, which is difficult to obtain in practice. We propose a real-to-sim-to-real shared autonomy framework that augments human teleoperation with learned corrective behaviors, using a simple yet effective k-nearest-neighbor (kNN) human surrogate to model operator actions in simulation. The surrogate is fit from less than five minutes of real-world teleoperation data and enables stable training of a residual copilot policy with model-free reinforcement learning. The resulting copilot is deployed to assist human operators in real-world fine-grained manipulation tasks. Through simulation experiments and a user study with sixteen participants on industry-relevant tasks, including nut threading, gear meshing, and peg insertion, we show that our system improves task success for novice operators and execution efficiency for experienced operators compared to direct teleoperation and shared-autonomy baselines that rely on expert priors or behavioral-cloning pilots. In addition, copilot-assisted teleoperation produces higher-quality demonstrations for downstream imitation learning.
