我们针对机器人操控柔性长条物体(如绳索、电缆、橡皮筋)的挑战提出解决方案。现有工作多聚焦于特定任务,依赖真实世界演示或手工设计规则,难以扩展到多样材料与任务,且真实数据采集困难。同时,现有仿真环境对复杂材料行为的支持有限。为此,我们开发了一个专为柔性长条物操控设计的可微分仿真器,能够建模不可伸缩性、弹性、弯曲塑性及与其它物体的复杂交互,为学习与评估操控技能提供坚实基础。在此基础上,我们构建了一套代表性任务基准,突出柔性长条物操作中的拓扑复杂性与抓握敏感性等难点。为此,我们提出一种专用代理策略,通过智能规划抓取点并分解长时序任务以增强控制力。最后,我们在框架中评估多种策略学习算法,并开展仿真到现实的迁移实验,验证了该平台在推动柔性长条物操控方面的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We address the challenge of enabling robots to manipulate deformable linear objects (DLOs), such as ropes, cables, and rubber bands. Prior work has primarily focused on narrow, task-specific problems, often relying on real-world demonstrations or handcrafted heuristics. Such approaches, however, struggle to scale to the wide variety of materials and tasks encountered in practice, and collecting sufficiently diverse real-world data is often impractical. Additionally, existing simulation environments offer limited support for the broad spectrum of material behaviors necessary for generalizable DLO manipulation. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a differentiable simulator explicitly designed for versatile DLO manipulation. Our simulator models a wide range of material properties-including (in)extensibility, elasticity, bending plasticity, and complex interactions with other objects-providing a robust foundation for learning and evaluating manipulation skills. Building on this simulator, we propose a benchmark suite of representative tasks that highlight the unique challenges of DLO manipulation. The successful execution of these tasks is often hindered by the topological complexity and grasp sensitivity inherent to DLOs. Therefore, we introduce a specialized DLO agent that explicitly manages these challenges by proposing strategic grasping points and decomposing long-horizon tasks to maximize control authority. Finally, we evaluate various policy-learning algorithms using our framework, alongside sim-to-real transfer experiments, demonstrating our platform's potential to advance DLO manipulation.
