用动态相位生成运动,让机器人在复杂轨迹中稳定反应。
Reactive Motion Generation via Phase-varying Neural Potential Functions

- 用状态演化自动估计相位,替代固定时间输入
- 在交叉轨迹上比基线更稳定,实机扰动下表现优秀
- 适合需要实时响应的机械臂操控任务
基于演示学习(LfD)的动力系统方法可从少量示范中生成稳定连续的控制策略。一阶动力系统适用于点对点和周期性任务,前提是每个状态有唯一速度。但在轨迹交叉(如画数字8)时,需引入二阶动力或相位变量。然而,二阶模型依赖速度判别方向,易受扰动影响;而相位方法依赖开环时间变量,无法恢复扰动后的状态。本文提出相位可变神经势函数(PNPF),将势函数条件于由状态演化直接估计的相位变量,而非开环时间输入。该相位变量使系统能处理状态重访,学习到的势函数生成局部向量场,实现反应式且稳定的控制。PNPF在点对点、周期性和全6自由度运动任务中均有良好泛化能力,在含交叉轨迹的任务上优于现有基线,并在真实机器人操作中表现出强鲁棒性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Dynamical systems (DS) methods for Learning-from-Demonstration (LfD) provide stable, continuous policies from few demonstrations. First-order dynamical systems (DS) are effective for many point-to-point and periodic tasks, as long as a unique velocity is defined for each state. For tasks with intersections (e.g., drawing an "8"), extensions such as second-order dynamics or phase variables are often used. However, by incorporating velocity, second-order models become sensitive to disturbances near intersections, as velocity is used to disambiguate motion direction. Moreover, this disambiguation may fail when nearly identical position-velocity pairs correspond to different onward motions. In contrast, phase-based methods rely on open-loop time or phase variables, which limit their ability to recover after perturbations. We introduce Phase-varying Neural Potential Functions (PNPF), an LfD framework that conditions a potential function on a phase variable which is estimated directly from state progression, rather than on open-loop temporal inputs. This phase variable allows the system to handle state revisits, while the learned potential function generates local vector fields for reactive and stable control. PNPF generalizes effectively across point-to-point, periodic, and full 6D motion tasks, outperforms existing baselines on trajectories with intersections, and demonstrates robust performance in real-time robotic manipulation under external disturbances.
