Adapting Generalist Vehicle Models for High-Speed MPC Across Terrains

- 通过历史状态编码动态上下文,仅用5分钟真实数据微调
- 6米/秒时轨迹误差降低55%,且对未知负载仍保持高精度
- 适合需要跨地形高速自动驾驶的机器人研发人员
高速非结构化环境自主驾驶需要精确闭环控制目标车辆,同时在变化地形中保持鲁棒性。近期的前向动力学预测基础模型表明,从通用模型逐步专业化是可行路径,但有效专业化仍具挑战,常需大量真实数据,且易在特定地形或驾驶模式下过拟合。本文提出OptCar(优化汽车),一种从通用到专用动力学预测模型的适配方案,在保持跨地形泛化能力的同时,优化特定车辆性能。OptCar引入历史条件动态适应模块,将近期状态-动作观测编码为动态上下文令牌,并结合有限真实数据与环境特异性系统辨识生成的合成滚动数据进行微调。在三种地形及分布外的拖拽任务中,最高速度6米/秒时性能提升最显著(滑移主导误差)。在植被和泥土两种滑移差异最大的地形上,相比经微调的AnyCar基线,轨迹跟踪误差减少约55%;即使面对未见过的载荷变化,仍保持最优精度。每种地形仅需5分钟真实数据,其表现已可媲美基于30分钟道路数据训练的专用模型,一旦地形改变则显著超越。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
High-speed off-road autonomy requires precise closed-loop control for a target vehicle while remaining robust across changing terrains. Recent forward kinodynamic (FKD) prediction foundation models suggest a promising path, starting from a generalist model and specializing it to the target platform. However, effective specialization remains challenging, as it often requires substantial real-world data, and models adapted to one setting can still overfit to specific terrains or driving regimes. We present OptCar (Optimized Car), a recipe for bridging the gap from generalist to specialist FKD models that preserves cross-terrain generalization while optimizing performance for a specific vehicle. $\texttt{OptCar}$ introduces a history-conditioned dynamics adaptation module that encodes recent state-action observations into a dynamics context token, and then fine-tunes the generalist model using limited real-world data together with targeted synthetic rollouts from environment-specific system identification. In closed-loop model predictive control (MPC) experiments across three terrains and an out-of-distribution cart-pulling task, the largest gains appear at 6~m/s, the highest speed evaluated and the regime in which slip dominates tracking error. On vegetation and dirt, the most slip-diverse terrain, OptCar reduces 6~m/s trajectory tracking error by roughly 55% relative to a fine-tuned AnyCar baseline, and remains the most accurate even when an unseen cart payload changes the dynamics. With only 5 minutes of real data per terrain, OptCar is competitive on road with a specialist trained on 30 minutes of road data, and substantially outperforms it once the terrain changes.
