  • 基于物体相对位姿和运动图,概率化推断任务步骤间的依赖关系。
  • 在少样本条件下比基线方法更准确地恢复任务结构。
  • 适合需要灵活重排子任务的长程操作场景,如机器人装配。

长时序操作任务通常只有部分顺序约束。例如,在组装电子设备时,电池和电路板可任意安装顺序,但两者必须就位后才能合上外壳。恢复此类依赖关系可使机器人在保持任务有效性的前提下灵活调整子任务顺序。现有方法通常依赖人类演示中的时间与符号标注来推断任务结构,但符号谓词需显式标注,难以在真实场景中获取。本文提出一种仅使用简单运动图和物体相对位姿分布即可提取任务依赖结构的方法。从这些表示中,我们估计每对任务步骤间的依赖概率,并用于初始化优先级图的边权重。随后引入过滤流水线,将概率估计图转化为最终的任务依赖图。我们在现有基准和新构建的数据集(包含更长任务与更复杂依赖)上进行评估,结果表明,本方法在更少演示样本下仍能更准确地恢复任务结构。最后,我们验证了所推断的图可用于生成同一任务的多个有效机器人执行顺序。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Long-horizon manipulation tasks are often only partially ordered. For example, when assembling an electronic device, the battery and circuit board may be installed in either order, but both must be in place before the enclosure is closed. Recovering such dependencies enables robots to flexibly reorder subtasks while preserving task validity. Existing approaches typically infer task structure from human demonstrations using both temporal and symbolic supervision. However, symbolic predicates require explicit grounding, which is difficult to obtain in realistic settings. In this work, we present an approach for extracting task dependency structures from demonstrations using only simple kinematic graphs and distributions over relative object poses. From these representations, our method estimates pairwise task-step-dependency probabilities and uses them to initialize the edge weights of a precedence graph. We then introduce a filtering pipeline that converts this graph of probability estimates into the final task dependency graph. We evaluate our approach on an existing benchmark and on a new dataset comprising longer tasks with more complex dependencies. We find that our method recovers more accurate task structures from fewer demonstrations than the baselines. Finally, we demonstrate that the inferred graphs can be used to generate multiple valid robotic execution orders for the same task.
