用强化学习让机器人自动完成口腔扫描,提升精度与覆盖率。
RobOralScan: Learning Active Intraoral Scanning for Robotic Dental Reconstruction

- 基于几何记忆的观察空间,让机器人记住扫描历史和漏扫区域。
- 扫描覆盖率92.58%,单颗牙最低覆盖率88.45%,误差仅0.00838。
- 无需重新训练即可在真实机器人上运行,适合牙科自动化场景。
口内扫描广泛用于修复、种植及正畸的数字化印模,但全牙弓和长跨度扫描仍依赖人工,自动化程度低。受限于口腔空间狭小,操作者需持续调整扫描仪运动并累积窄视场观测,导致重建质量易受缺牙面影响且工作负荷大。本文提出RobOralScan,据我们所知是首个基于强化学习的机器人自动口内扫描方法。该方法引入基于几何记忆的观察空间,将局部扫描结果整合为三态几何表示,使策略能推理扫描历史与未充分观测区域。同时提出逐牙覆盖学习,结合覆盖感知奖励信号与渐进式训练策略,提升整体重建覆盖率并减少各牙齿间覆盖不均。学习到的策略基于累积几何记忆与机器人本体感知,实现口腔工作区内的闭环扫描控制。RobOralScan在10次评估中完成扫描标准8次,达到0.00838的Chamfer Distance、92.58%平均覆盖率、88.45%最低尾部单牙覆盖率以及0.6674的归一化AUC。零样本仿真到现实迁移实验验证了其在真实机器人扫描系统上的可行性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Intraoral scanning is widely used for digital optical impressions in prosthodontic, implant, and orthodontic treatment, but full-arch and long-span scanning remain labor-intensive tasks with limited automation. In the confined oral cavity, operators must continuously adjust scanner motion while accumulating narrow field-of-view observations, making reconstruction quality sensitive to missing tooth surfaces and operator workload. We propose RobOralScan, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first reinforcement learning (RL)-based pipeline for robotic automatic intraoral scanning. RobOralScan introduces a geometric memory-based observation space that accumulates partial scan observations into a tri-state geometric representation, allowing the policy to reason over scan history and insufficiently observed regions. It further introduces tooth-wise coverage learning, combining coverage-aware reward signals and a progressive training scheme to improve global reconstruction coverage while reducing uneven coverage across individual teeth. The learned policy selects relative scanner motions from accumulated geometric memory and robot proprioception for closed-loop scan control within the oral workspace. RobOralScan achieves a Chamfer Distance of 0.00838, an average coverage of 92.58%, a lower-tail per-tooth coverage of 88.45%, and a normalized AUC of 0.6674, completing the scan criterion in 8 of 10 evaluation episodes. Furthermore, zero-shot sim-to-real experiments demonstrate its practical feasibility on a physical robot-scanner setup.
