  • 根据信息增益、地形代价等五维度动态排序探索点
  • 复杂场景下寻人完成率与发现率均最高
  • 适合需要平衡搜救效率与环境探索的救援任务

四足机器人在复杂室内环境中具备优于轮式系统的优势,但在未知救援场景中,自主探索需兼顾地图扩展与发现幸存者的可能性,而传统前沿选择策略未明确处理此问题。本文提出一种情境感知的前沿优先级方法,保留原有探索框架,但通过信息增益、观测不足度、救援相关性、地形惩罚和移动成本对前沿点进行综合评分。该方法在Gazebo仿真中针对两种不同难度的室内救援场景进行了评估:第一个为基准测试,第二个引入更强干扰与前沿模糊性。实验表明,在简单场景中各方法表现可靠;而在复杂场景中,所提方法达成最高任务完成率与最高幸存者发现率。结果说明,当前沿选择变得复杂时,融合情境信息的优先级策略能有效平衡救援效用与通用探索目标。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quadruped robots are a promising platform for search and rescue missions because they can navigate cluttered indoor environments that may be restrictive for wheeled systems. However, in unknown rescue scenarios, autonomous exploration must balance map expansion with the likelihood of finding victims, which is not explicitly addressed by clas- sical frontier selection strategies. This paper presents a situation aware frontier prioritization method for single robot quadruped search and rescue. The proposed approach preserves the frontier exploration framework, but extends frontier ranking with information gain, observation deficit, rescue relevance, terrain penalty, and travel cost. The method is eval- uated in Gazebo simulation with a quadruped robot in two indoor rescue scenarios with different levels of difficulty. The first scenario is used as a sanity check, while the second introduces stronger clutter and frontier ambiguity. Experimental results show that all methods perform reliably in a simple scenario, whereas in a complex scenario is different. In that setting, the proposed method achieves the highest completion rate and the highest victim recovery among the evaluated approaches. These results indicate that situation aware frontier prioritization is beneficial when frontier choice becomes nontrivial and rescue utility must be balanced against generic exploration objectives.
