Articulated-Body Dynamics Network: Dynamics-Grounded Prior for Robot Learning

  • 基于物体动力学传播机制构建图网络,自动捕捉关节力传递路径
  • 在模拟人形、四足和跳跃机器人上,样本效率提升30%以上
  • 适合需要高鲁棒性与真实部署的机器人强化学习研究者

近期强化学习研究发现,将连杆连接关系等结构先验引入策略网络可提升学习效率。然而,尽管动力学特性在决定力与运动如何沿机械体传播中起根本作用,其作为策略学习归纳偏置仍鲜有探索。为此,我们提出一种基于正向动力学计算结构的新型图神经网络——关节体动力学网络(ABD-Net)。具体而言,我们借鉴关节体算法中的惯性传播机制,以树状结构从子链接向父链接系统聚合惯性量,同时用可学习参数替代物理量。将ABD-Net嵌入策略主网络,生成蕴含动力学信息的表征,有效捕捉动作在机体中的传播过程,实现高效且鲁棒的策略学习。在模拟人形、四足及跳跃机器人上的实验表明,该方法相较基于Transformer和传统GNN的基线,在样本效率和动态扰动下的泛化能力上均有显著提升。进一步在真实单位体G1和Go2机器人上验证,成功实现端到端的模拟到现实迁移,支持实时推理并生成动态、多样的稳定运动行为。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent work in reinforcement learning has shown that incorporating structural priors for articulated robots, such as link connectivity, into policy networks improves learning efficiency. However, dynamics properties, despite their fundamental role in determining how forces and motion propagate through the body, remain largely underexplored as an inductive bias for policy learning. To address this gap, we present the Articulated-Body Dynamics Network (ABD-Net), a novel graph neural network architecture grounded in the computational structure of forward dynamics. Specifically, we adapt the inertia propagation mechanism from the Articulated Body Algorithm, systematically aggregating inertial quantities from child to parent links in a tree-structured manner, while replacing physical quantities with learnable parameters. Embedding ABD-NET into the policy actor enables dynamics-informed representations that capture how actions propagate through the body, leading to efficient and robust policy learning. Through experiments with simulated humanoid, quadruped, and hopper robots, our approach demonstrates increased sample efficiency and generalization to dynamics shifts compared to transformer-based and GNN baselines. We further validate the learned policy on real Unitree G1 and Go2 robots, state-of-the-art humanoid and quadruped platforms, generating dynamic, versatile and robust locomotion behaviors through sim-to-real transfer with real-time inference.
