用视觉语言模型动态调节安全约束,让机器人更安全高效地导航。

Dynamic Control Barrier Function Regulation with Vision-Language Models for Safe, Adaptive, and Realtime Visual Navigation

  • 通过视觉语言模型实时评估风险,动态调整安全过滤器参数。
  • 在多种场景下提升导航效率最高18.5%,且保持零碰撞。
  • 适合需要实时安全决策的移动机器人应用。

在动态、非结构化环境中,机器人需在感知受限下兼顾安全与效率。传统控制屏障函数(CBF)采用固定参数,导致在无害场景中过于保守或近危险区域过于宽松。本文提出AlphaAdj框架,利用自我中心RGB图像,通过视觉语言模型(VLM)生成有界风险估计,并映射为动态更新的CBF参数,以调节安全约束强度。为应对实际中异步推理与高延迟问题,引入基于几何与速度的动态上限机制,结合过时门控融合策略,实现轻量化部署,降低端到端推理开销。在多种静态与动态障碍物场景中测试,相比固定参数和无上限基线,AlphaAdj在保持零碰撞的前提下,路径长度与到达时间效率提升最高达18.5%,同时增强鲁棒性与成功率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Robots operating in dynamic, unstructured environments must balance safety and efficiency under potentially limited sensing. While control barrier functions (CBFs) provide principled collision avoidance via safety filtering, their behavior is often governed by fixed parameters that can be overly conservative in benign scenes or overly permissive near hazards. We present AlphaAdj, a vision-to-control navigation framework that uses egocentric RGB input to adapt the conservativeness of a CBF safety filter in real time. A vision-language model(VLM) produces a bounded scalar risk estimate from the current camera view, which we map to dynamically update a CBF parameter that modulates how strongly safety constraints are enforced. To address asynchronous inference and non-trivial VLM latency in practice, we combine a geometric, speed-aware dynamic cap and a staleness-gated fusion policy with lightweight implementation choices that reduce end-to-end inference overhead. We evaluate AlphaAdj across multiple static and dynamic obstacle scenarios in a variety of environments, comparing against fixed-parameter and uncapped ablations. Results show that AlphaAdj maintains collision-free navigation while improving efficiency (in terms of path length and time to goal) by up to 18.5% relative to fixed settings and improving robustness and success rate relative to an uncapped baseline.
