用行为克隆替代MPC,让机械臂实时控制更快更稳。
Behavior Cloning of MPC for 3-DOF Robotic Manipulators
- 用神经网络模仿MPC策略,实现快速推理。
- 推理延迟降低3倍,成功率84.98%(宽松误差下)。
- 静态模型比时序模型更好,状态瞬时观测已足够。
尽管模型预测控制(MPC)具有强稳定性和鲁棒性,但其对实时系统带来显著计算负担。本文研究了将行为克隆应用于3自由度机械臂的MPC策略近似,以实现实时控制。我们提出一种结合逆运动学与MPC的基线控制器,并评估从经典回归算法到深度神经网络(如Deep MLP和RNN)的多种网络架构,以构建计算高效的代理策略。通过在线与离线评估,分析泛化能力、稳定性及不同架构的权衡。实验表明,行为克隆可有效降低MPC的计算负担,在宽松容差下实现3倍推理延迟减少与84.98%的成功率。值得注意的是,静态架构优于时序变体,证实该任务仅需瞬时状态观测即可。然而在严格容差下仍存在精度差距,表明行为克隆虽能捕捉全局最优轨迹,但终端稳态误差仍需进一步优化。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
While Model Predictive Control (MPC) provides strong stability and robustness, it imposes a significant computational burden on real-time systems. This paper investigates the application of Behavior Cloning to approximate MPC policies for the real-time control of a 3-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator. We present a baseline controller combining Inverse Kinematics with MPC and evaluate neural network architectures, ranging from classical regression algorithms to deep learning models including Deep MLPs and RNNs, to derive computationally efficient surrogate policies. We analyze generalization capabilities, stability considerations, and the trade-offs inherent in different architectural choices. Our empirical study employs both online and offline evaluations to assess performance regarding accuracy, computational efficiency, and fidelity to the original MPC policy. Our results demonstrate that Behavior Cloning can effectively reduce the computational burden of MPC policies for 3-DOF robotic manipulators, achieving a 3x reduction in inference latency with a 84.98% success rate under relaxed tolerances. Notably, we find that static architectures outperform temporal variants, confirming the sufficiency of instantaneous state observations for this task. However, we observe a precision gap under strict tolerances, which suggest that while Behavior Cloning captures the global optimal trajectory, further research is needed to minimize terminal steady-state error.
