  • 无需重训练即可灵活调节安全与效率平衡

开放人机环境中的安全且符合社交规范的导航,要求机器人理解具有不同动态特性、自主程度和社会角色的异构参与者。现有轨迹预测与规划方法常基于同质交互假设或仅强制几何碰撞约束,难以同时建模非对称交互、耦合预测-规划过程以及软性社交规范。本文提出SAGE,一种面向异构多智能体导航的社会感知生成引擎。SAGE将机器人与周围实体表示为有向异构图,并使用异构图变换器(HGT)编码类型特异性非对称交互。基于生成上下文,基于扩散的生成模块联合建模未来各实体轨迹与机器人路径规划。推理阶段采用免训练的安全-社交能量引导机制,利用可微分的碰撞、运动学、任务进展及角色相关的社交合规项优化采样轨迹。在真实数据集(ETH/UCY和SDD)与合成数据集上的大量实验验证了SAGE在提升安全性与社交合规性的同时保持任务性能的有效性。所提引导机制显著降低碰撞率与社交违规率,可扩展至最多20个机器人的团队,且无需重训练即可显式控制安全-精度-任务进展间的权衡。这些发现表明SAGE在复杂环境中具备作为可扩展社会感知多智能体导航框架的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Safe and socially compliant navigation in open human-robot environments requires robots to reason about heterogeneous participants with different dynamics, autonomy levels, and social roles. Existing trajectory prediction and planning methods often rely on homogeneous interaction assumptions or enforce only geometric collision constraints, making it difficult to jointly model asymmetric interactions, coupled prediction-planning, and soft social norms. This paper proposes SAGE, a socially-aware generative engine for heterogeneous multi-agent navigation. SAGE represents robots and surrounding entities as a directed heterogeneous graph and employs a Heterogeneous Graph Transformer (HGT) to encode type-specific asymmetric interactions. Conditioned on the resulting context, a diffusion-based generative module jointly models future entity trajectories and robot trajectory plans. During inference, a training-free safety-social energy guidance mechanism refines sampled robot trajectories using differentiable collision, kinematic, task-progress, and role-conditioned social-compliance terms. Extensive experiments on real-world (ETH/UCY and SDD) and synthetic datasets verify the effectiveness of SAGE in improving safety and social compliance while maintaining task performance. The proposed guidance mechanism consistently reduces collision and social-violation rates, scales to teams of up to 20 robots, and enables explicit control of the safety-accuracy-task trade-off without retraining. These findings demonstrate the potential of SAGE as a scalable framework for socially-aware multi-agent navigation in complex environments.
