精确预测车辆在可变形地形上的运动仍具挑战性,因沉陷、滑移和牵引力随局部土壤条件变化。现有基于学习的运动学动力学模型直接从数据拟合车地交互,但未显式建模土壤力学,物理可解释性差。为此,我们提出NeSAM,一种神经符号框架,将可微分贝克尔-王地力学模型与学习的地形表征及基于Transformer的残差动力学模型相结合,实现六自由度、长时程的运动预测。地力学部分建模土壤依赖的相互作用力,残差模型修正解析预测与实际动态之间的偏差。NeSAM还能从地形观测中估计物理意义明确的土壤参数,并使用扩展卡尔曼滤波器在线更新。我们在基于Chrono多物理引擎构建的Verti-Bench模拟器上评估,并在真实Verti-4-Wheeler平台上验证。相比最强基线,仿真中预测精度提升最高达30%,实测数据提升29%。集成闭环导航控制器后,通过在线土壤适应使通行成功率提高,同时到参考轨迹的豪斯多夫距离减少69.4%,表明轨迹跟踪精度显著提升。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate prediction of off-road vehicle motion over deformable terrain remains challenging because sinkage, slip, and traction vary with local soil conditions. Existing learning-based kinodynamic models directly approximate vehicle-terrain interactions from data but do not explicitly represent soil mechanics and offer limited physical interpretability. To address these limitations, we present NeSAM, a neuro-symbolic framework that combines differentiable Bekker-Wong terramechanics with learned terrain representations and a Transformer-based residual dynamics model for long-horizon, six degree-of-freedom kinodynamic prediction. The terramechanics component models soil-dependent interaction forces, while the residual model corrects discrepancies between the analytical prediction and the observed vehicle dynamics. NeSAM further estimates physically meaningful soil parameters from terrain observations and updates them online using an extended Kalman filter. We evaluate NeSAM in Verti-Bench, a simulator built on the Chrono multiphysics engine, and validate its performance on a physical Verti-4-Wheeler platform. NeSAM improves prediction accuracy by up to 30% in simulation and 29% on real-world data relative to the strongest compared baselines. When integrated with a close-loop navigation controller, NeSAM further improves traversal success rate through online soil adaptation while reduces Hausdorff distance to the reference trajectory by 69.4%, indicating improved trajectory tracking accuracy.
