  • 用最坏情况状态修正输入观测,让学习策略自主决策
  • 相比动作过滤,观测过滤使近空相撞减少90%
  • 适合依赖学习安全策略的无人机系统部署

基于学习的小型无人机(sUAS)避撞策略在仿真中可实现近乎零碰撞率,但依赖全球导航卫星系统(GNSS)提供的精确位置与速度信息。在城市环境中,多径效应、信号遮挡和有意干扰会导致导航完整性下降。本文探讨在对抗性GNSS退化下,应通过运行时安全机制过滤策略的动作还是其观测输入。两种架构均先估计与有限观测不确定性一致的最坏交通状态,随后分叉:动作过滤在最坏状态下使用离散时间控制屏障函数约束策略输出;观测过滤则将最坏状态直接作为修正输入传递给策略。实验表明,动作过滤几乎无安全提升,而观测过滤使近空相撞减少90%,且对屏障函数在分离距离与接近速率之间的权衡保持鲁棒性。结果表明,对于具备学习安全行为的策略,保留其决策自主权优于用人工设计约束覆盖其动作。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learning-based separation assurance for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) achieves near-zero collision rates in simulation, but assumes accurate position and velocity information from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). This assumption fails in urban environments, where multipath propagation, signal blockage, and intentional interference degrade navigation integrity. This raises a fundamental architectural question for deploying learned separation policies under GNSS degradation: should runtime safety mechanisms filter the policy's actions or its observations? This work evaluates both approaches for multi-agent sUAS separation under adversarial GNSS degradation. Both architectures first estimate a worst-case traffic state consistent with bounded observation uncertainty, then diverge: action filtering constrains policy outputs via discrete-time control barrier functions evaluated at the worst-case state, while observation filtering presents the worst-case state directly to the policy as corrected input. Experimental results show that action filtering provides negligible safety improvement, while observation filtering reduces near mid-air collisions by 90% and remains robust to the barrier function's tradeoff between separation distance and closing rate. These results suggest that, for policies with learned safety behaviors, preserving the policy's decision authority outperforms overriding its actions with hand-designed constraints.
