让四足机器人在不同体型下都能感知地形,稳定行走。
Learning Perceptive Platform Adaptive Locomotion Controllers for Quadrupedal Robots

- 用自适应地形训练法,为多种四足机器人定制通用控制策略。
- 仅由评价网络感知的模型比全感知模型更抗噪声,表现更稳。
- 适合做四足机器人跨形态控制研究者参考。
通用四足行走仍受限于跨机器人形态整合感知的难度。现有控制器依赖单一机器人训练或无感知策略,导致跨体形泛化能力差。本文研究如何将感知融入形态感知强化学习架构,以实现可部署的四足控制。基于MorAL框架,在多个参考四足机器人上使用自适应地形课程训练形态专用的通用控制器。比较了盲基线、仅评价网络感知的变体(MorAL+)和完全感知的演员-评论家模型(PPAL)。在平坦与粗糙地形上的仿真评估及ANYmal硬件部署结果显示,仅评价网络感知的模型在鲁棒性和轨迹一致性上优于盲基线,且在感知噪声下比全感知模型更稳定。结果表明,感知位置与课程设计是实现可扩展形态感知行走的关键。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Universal quadrupedal locomotion remains limited by the difficulty of integrating perception across diverse robot morphologies. State-of-the-art controllers rely on single-robot training or blind policies that omit real-time perception, leading to poor cross-embodiment generalization. Designing locomotion policies that remain robust across related quadruped morphologies while incorporating perception is challenging. Moreover, fully perceptive policies are often sensitive to noise, whereas blind controllers lack terrain awareness. In this work, we study how perception should be integrated into morphology-aware reinforcement learning architectures for deployable quadrupedal control. Building on MorAL, we train morphology-specialized universal controllers on multiple reference quadrupeds using adaptive terrain curricula. We compare a blind baseline, a critic-perceptive variant (MorAL+), and a fully perceptive actor-critic (PPAL). Policies are evaluated in simulation on flat and rough terrains, and deployed on ANYmal hardware. Results show that critic-only perception improves robustness and tracking consistency over blind baselines while remaining more stable than fully perceptive policies under perception noise. These findings highlight that perception placement and curriculum design are key factors for scalable, morphology-aware locomotion.
