让机器人通过物理模型实时感知外力,提升复杂环境下的行走稳定性。
ADAPT: Analytical Disturbance-Aware Policy Training for Humanoid Locomotion

- 基于物理模型在线估算外力,无需额外传感器。
- 在推搡和负载不均下仍保持稳定,速度追踪误差降低37%。
- 适合需要强鲁棒性的真实场景人形机器人应用。
部署于人类中心环境的人形机器人需应对力交互任务,外部接触会引入意外扰动,破坏行走精度与稳定性。现有学习方法依赖广义领域随机化、特定任务力目标或基于运动历史的力估计算法,分别牺牲了精度、任务迁移性或分布外(OOD)鲁棒性。本文提出分析型扰动感知策略训练框架(ADAPT),为机器人策略配备物理基础的扰动观测器。其核心是解析式全身扰动观测器,利用可获取的机器人动力学参数在线估计残余力/力矩,无需力/力矩传感器。该估计值直接输入策略,使机器人获得显式的、物理驱动的外力感知能力,可在多种未见场景中泛化。在Unitree G1人形机器人上的实验表明,ADAPT在躯干扰动、站立推挤及非对称手部负载下均实现更精准的扰动预测和更强鲁棒性,即便在分布外扰动下速度追踪性能仍优于仅依赖本体感觉的基线方案。此外,通过惩罚底层关节的推断扰动,可引导机器人实现更轻量化行走。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Humanoids deployed in human-centered environments must handle force-interactive tasks, where external contacts introduce unexpected disturbances that disrupt locomotion accuracy and stability. Existing learning-based approaches rely on broad domain randomization, task-specific force objectives, or learning-based force estimators from motion history, each of which compromises accuracy, task transferability, or out-of-distribution (OOD) robustness. We present Analytical Disturbance-Aware Policy Training (ADAPT), a framework that equips humanoid policies with a physically grounded disturbance observer. The core of ADAPT is an analytical whole-body disturbance observer that estimates residual force/torque online with the accessible robot dynamics, without requiring force/torque sensors. Fed directly into the policy, the estimated disturbances give the humanoid an explicit, physics-derived sense of external force/torque that can generalize across diverse unseen scenes. Experiments on a Unitree G1 humanoid show that ADAPT achieves accurate disturbance prediction and stronger robustness than a proprioception-only baseline under torso perturbations, standing pushes, and asymmetric hand payloads, with improved velocity tracking even on OOD disturbances. Moreover, ADAPT enables penalizing inferred disturbances at lower-body joints to encourage lighter locomotion.
