用自组织映射发现机器人动作基元,实现运动阶段的在线识别。
Motion Primitive Discovery in a Humanoid Robot via Self-Organising Maps for Phase Recognition

- 两层架构:先用SOM学习手臂和手部运动拓扑表征
- 基于SOM激活轨迹可准确识别动作阶段,保留主要判别结构
- 适合研究人机交互中动作理解与机器人自主行为建模
理解动作识别的计算基础是社交认知与人机交互的核心挑战。受镜像神经元系统启发,我们提出一种两级架构,用于类人机器人NICO的动作基元发现与在线阶段识别。第一层通过两个自组织映射(A-SOM和H-SOM)从覆盖七种运动动作的仿真试验中学习手臂与手部运动的拓扑表示,训练基于层级相关性分析筛选出的非冗余特征。结果表明,两个SOM编码了运动行为互补的方面。第二层采用回声状态网络(ESN)评估SOM激活的时间轨迹(由连续最优匹配单元构成)是否足以实现当前执行动作阶段的在线识别。结果表明,基于SOM的轨迹保留了动作阶段的主要判别结构,而上下文信息仅起次要修正作用。本工作将成熟的SOM与ESN方法集成于镜像神经元系统启发的架构中,实现了动作基元表征与在线阶段识别。结果支持一个计算假设:当时间整合时,自组织的运动表征可支持对正在进行动作阶段的准确在线识别。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding the computational basis of action recognition is a central challenge in social cognition as well as in human-robot interaction. Inspired by the Mirror Neuron System (MNS), we propose a two-level architecture for motor primitive discovery and online phase recognition applied to the NICO humanoid robot. At the first level, two Self-Organising Maps (SOMs) learn topographic representations of arm kinematics (A-SOM) and hand kinematics (H-SOM) from simulated trials covering seven motor actions. The maps are trained on non-redundant features identified through hierarchical correlation analysis of motion trajectories. The results show that the two SOMs encode complementary aspects of motor behaviour. At the second level, an Echo State Network (ESN) evaluates whether temporal trajectories of SOM activations, represented by consecutive best-matching units, are sufficient for online recognition of the currently executed movement phase. The results show that SOM-based trajectories preserve the dominant phase-discriminative structure of the movement, while contextual information provides only a secondary refinement. Our contribution is the integration of established SOM and ESN methods within an MNS-inspired architecture for motor primitive representation and online phase recognition. The results are compatible with the computational hypothesis that self-organised motor representations, when temporally integrated, can support accurate online recognition of ongoing movement phases.
