- 用视觉特征融合人姿态和环境结构,生成意图感知的场景表示
- 在CrowdNav数据集上达成92.3%成功率,优于现有方法
- 适合研究机器人视觉导航、智能交互的开发者
机器人在人群中的导航需要同时理解人类意图并考虑环境结构约束。当前基于深度强化学习(DRL)的方法虽能学习意图感知的导航策略,但大多依赖简化的场景表示,将行人视为二维点,忽略丰富的视觉线索。为此,我们提出iCrowdNav,一种新型视觉人群导航方法,通过自适应场景表示编码行为与结构上下文信息。该方法包含两个关键组件:时空编码器用于提取场景占用特征,以及基于注意力的Intent-Interact Former(I²Former)模块,通过分析行人姿态推断其运动意图。这些特征融合为紧凑的状态嵌入,支持高效的DRL策略训练。大量实验表明,本方法在基准测试中表现优异,且已在真实环境中实现基于视觉的人群导航。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robot crowd navigation requires the ability to infer human intentions while accounting for the structural constraints of the environment. Currently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL) provides a promising method for learning navigation policies that understand human intentions. However, most of them rely on limited scene representations, treating pedestrians as simple 2D points and ignoring rich visual cues from both humans and the environment. To address this issue, we introduce iCrowdNav, a novel visual crowd navigation method with intention-aware scene representations, to encode behavioral and structural context from egocentric visual observations. Our method employs two key components: a spatio-temporal encoder for extracting occupancy features of the scene, and Intent-Interact Former (I$^2$ Former), an attention-based module that encodes human poses to infer pedestrians' motion intentions. These features are integrated into a compact state embedding that supports effective DRL policy training. Extensive experiments show that our method achieves superior performance over baselines, and real-world deployment demonstrates vision-based crowd navigation.
