  • 激光雷达教时建精确地图,雷达复现时抗恶劣天气干扰

  • 无需标注即可自适应更新,适合长期室外机器人部署

长期自主导航需应对动态与静态变化及恶劣天气。教-重复(T&R)导航通过避免全局地图构建,提供可靠且低成本的解决方案,但现有系统缺乏系统性应对天气退化、临时动态和结构变化的能力。本文提出首个跨模态、跨平台的激光雷达-教-毫米波雷达-重复系统LTR²,系统性解决上述挑战。教学阶段使用激光雷达在正常条件下捕获高精度结构信息;重复阶段采用4D毫米波雷达在环境退化下实现鲁棒运行。为对齐稀疏嘈杂的前向4D雷达与密集准确的全向3D激光雷达数据,提出跨模态配准(CMR)网络,联合利用多普勒运动先验及激光强度与雷达功率密度的物理规律。进一步提出自适应微调策略,基于定位误差增量更新CMR网络,实现无真值标签的长期静态环境适应能力。在公开数据集上,所提CMR达到当前最佳跨模态配准性能。在三种机器人平台上开展大规模长期部署(超过40公里,持续6个月),涵盖夜间烟雾等挑战场景。实验结果与消融研究显示,系统实现厘米级精度,对多种环境扰动表现出强鲁棒性,显著优于现有方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Long-term autonomy requires robust navigation in environments subject to dynamic and static changes, as well as adverse weather conditions. Teach-and-Repeat (T\&R) navigation offers a reliable and cost-effective solution by avoiding the need for consistent global mapping; however, existing T\&R systems lack a systematic solution to tackle various environmental variations such as weather degradation, ephemeral dynamics, and structural changes. This work proposes LTR$^2$, the first cross-modal, cross-platform LiDAR-Teach-and-Radar-Repeat system that systematically addresses these challenges. LTR$^2$ leverages LiDAR during the teaching phase to capture precise structural information under normal conditions and utilizes 4D millimeter-wave radar during the repeating phase for robust operation under environmental degradations. To align sparse and noisy forward-looking 4D radar with dense and accurate omnidirectional 3D LiDAR data, we introduce a Cross-Modal Registration (CMR) network that jointly exploits Doppler-based motion priors and the physical laws governing LiDAR intensity and radar power density. Furthermore, we propose an adaptive fine-tuning strategy that incrementally updates the CMR network based on localization errors, enabling long-term adaptability to static environmental changes without ground-truth labels. We demonstrate that the proposed CMR network achieves state-of-the-art cross-modal registration performance on the open-access dataset. Then we validate LTR$^2$ across three robot platforms over a large-scale, long-term deployment (40+ km over 6 months), including challenging conditions such as nighttime smoke. Experimental results and ablation studies demonstrate centimeter-level accuracy and strong robustness against diverse environmental disturbances, significantly outperforming existing approaches.
