  • 融合可行转移律与变分提议,确保每一步都覆盖真实接触路径。
  • 在遮挡下仍保持可用性,恢复误差分解为滤波、导数、模式杂质等部分。
  • 适合需要精确接触识别的机器人控制任务,尤其在复杂动态场景中。

富含接触的机器人动力学具有混合特性:一次观测可能对应多个潜在状态和接触模式(自由、碰撞、粘滑)。标准摊销滤波器若对可行接触转换不赋予概率,将永久丢失机器人实际遵循的分支。本文提出VHYDRO,一种变分混合动力学学习器,防止分支丢失。每一步中,VHYDRO在采样与重要性加权前混合学习到的提议与可行转移律,确保模型保留的可行路径均被覆盖。VHYDRO联合推断连续隐状态与离散接触模式,并为每个恢复的模式拟合稀疏端口-哈密顿定律。三重保证相连:支持覆盖稳定滤波,稳定滤波使离散接触后验集中于一致模式,模式纯净段可实现稀疏端口-哈密顿恢复。恢复误差可清晰分解为滤波、导数、模式不纯度与物理残差四部分。三个实证发现均反映同一机制:在强遮挡下,支持安全滤波仍可用,而非防御性提议会崩溃;在ManiSkill演示及四个Sawyer/BridgeData任务族上,离散状态形成时间连贯的接触模式段,其联合性能优于后处理与无模式基线(指标包括ARI、变点F1、段纯度);在已知方程的混合系统中,条件化模式的稀疏拟合能恢复活跃物理项,而纯预测基线无法做到。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Contact-rich robot dynamics are hybrid: a single observation can match several latent states and contact regimes (free, impact, stick--slip). A standard amortized filter that places no probability on a feasible contact transition will permanently lose the branch the robot actually follows. We introduce VHYDRO, a variational hybrid dynamics learner that prevents this branch loss. At each step, VHYDRO mixes the learned proposal with a feasible transition law before sampling and importance weighting, ensuring that every transition retained by the model-feasible carrier remains covered. VHYDRO jointly infers a continuous latent state and a discrete contact mode, and fits a sparse port-Hamiltonian law to each recovered regime. On top of this, three guarantees connect: support coverage stabilizes filtering, the stabilized filter concentrates the discrete contact posterior on coherent regimes, and mode-pure segments admit sparse port-Hamiltonian recovery. The recovery error separates cleanly into filtering, derivative, mode-impurity, and physics-residual parts. Three empirical findings track the same mechanism. Under heavy occlusion the support-safe filter stays usable while a non-defensive proposal collapses. On ManiSkill demonstrations and on four Sawyer/BridgeData task families the discrete state forms temporally coherent contact-regime segments that the discrete state yields a stronger joint profile across ARI, change-point F1, and segment purity than post-hoc and mode-free baselines. On hybrid systems with known equations the mode-conditioned sparse fit recovers the active physical terms; purely predictive baselines do not.
