改进无人机端到端规划,提升避障安全性和飞行路径质量
Some Modifications to Our End-to-End UAV Planner

- 采用双段参数化与同伦锚点,增强轨迹表达能力
- 引入速度自适应约束,复杂区域自动减速
- 改用排序损失,避免候选轨迹顺序错误
单阶段规划器 YOPO 将深度图像和机器人状态直接映射为候选轨迹,通过可微轨迹成本反向传播训练。但其存在软约束优化的固有问题:安全代价与平滑性、目标可达性项相互竞争,跨同伦类非凸,且单段多项式表达能力有限。本文提出若干有效改进:采用双段 MINCO 参数化,在不改变空间路径的前提下提升平滑性;将 YOPO 的多模态预测扩展至不同同伦类,以运动基元作为同伦锚点,将轨迹限制在可行盆地内,无需显式构建安全飞行走廊或前端搜索;针对动态可行性,对速度和加速度施加屏障惩罚,并引入依赖曲率的速度上限,其梯度仅作用于速度,实现复杂区域或急转弯时的自适应减速;将评分回归替换为排序损失,防止小评分误差导致候选集重排。这些改进提升了轨迹表示丰富度、避障安全性及飞行路径直接性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The one-stage planner YOPO maps a single depth image and the robot state directly to a set of candidate trajectories, trained by backpropagating through differentiable trajectory costs. This yields dense, geometrically informative supervision, but inherits the pathologies of soft-constrained optimization: the safety cost competes with the smoothness and goal-reaching terms, is non-convex across homotopy classes, and the single-piece polynomial is limited in expressiveness. In this report, we summarize several effective modifications. We adopt a two-piece MINCO parameterization, trading time for smoothness without altering the trajectory's spatial profile. We further lift YOPO's multi-modal prediction to span distinct homotopy classes, treating each motion primitive as a homotopy anchor that confines the trajectory to a feasible basin - without explicit safe-flight-corridor construction or front-end search. For dynamic feasibility, we impose barrier penalties on velocity and acceleration together with a curvature-dependent speed limit whose gradient acts only on the velocity, producing an adaptive-speed behavior that decelerates in cluttered regions or sharp turns. We replace score regression with a ranking loss, preventing small score errors from reordering the candidate set. These yield richer trajectory representations, safer obstacle avoidance, and more direct flight paths.
