- 通过共享表征融合车体配置与地形特征,实现跨车辆知识迁移。

- 适合需要快速适配新车型的野外机器人导航场景。
越野机动要求自主移动机器人在异构车辆群和动态变化的地形间泛化。现有跨车辆适应方法通常假设地形平坦,而地形感知的动力学模型常需平台特定的数据采集与重训练。为此,我们提出VertiAKD,一种统一框架,可在几何与语义复杂的地形上,同时实现不同车辆间的越野动力学知识转移与自适应。VertiAKD学习一个共享的移动性表征,联合编码车辆配置、轨迹转移以及局部高程与语义地形特征。在仅有少量新车辆在未知地形上的数据时,VertiAKD识别最相关的移动性描述符,并通过函数编码器初始化一个地形感知的动力学模型,随后无需梯度更新,持续从流式观测中在线优化。我们在基于Chrono多物理引擎构建的Verti-Bench模拟器及五种真实版的Verti-4-Wheeler平台上进行了评估。仅需1分钟的新轨迹数据与地形特征,VertiAKD相比直接转移移动性描述符,长时预测误差降低34.52%;相比竞争基线,降低94.43%。我们进一步在仿真与实物实验中验证了鲁棒的闭环轨迹跟踪,证明了地形感知跨车辆知识迁移在精准建模与可靠越野导航中的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Off-road mobility requires autonomous mobile robots to generalize across heterogeneous vehicle fleets and continuously changing terrain conditions. Existing cross-vehicle adaptation approaches generally assume flat terrain, while terrain-aware kinodynamic models often require platform-specific data collection and retraining. To this end, we propose VertiAKD, a unified framework for transferring and adapting off-road kinodynamic knowledge across diverse vehicles on geometrically and semantically complex terrain simultaneously. VertiAKD learns a shared mobility representation that jointly encodes vehicle configurations, trajectory transitions, and local elevation and semantic terrain features. Given limited data from a novel vehicle operating on unseen terrain, VertiAKD identifies the most relevant mobility descriptors and transfers their knowledge to initialize a terrain-aware kinodynamic model via function encoders, which is then periodically refined online from streaming observations without gradient-based retraining. We evaluate VertiAKD in the Verti-Bench simulator, built on the Chrono multi-physics engine, and on five physical configurations of the Verti-4-Wheeler platform. With only one minute of new trajectory data and associated terrain features, VertiAKD reduces long-horizon prediction error by up to 34.52% over direct mobility descriptor transfer across diverse unseen vehicle configurations and 94.43% over competing baselines. We further demonstrate robust closed-loop trajectory tracking in both simulation and physical experiments, highlighting the effectiveness of terrain-aware cross-vehicle knowledge transfer for accurate modeling and reliable off-road navigation.
