NeurRAFT: Robot Motion Planning via Anchor-Level Flow Matching with Clearance-Aware Preference Tuning

- 基于锚点级流匹配,压缩轨迹表示,提升规划效率。
- 通过偏好优化使模型生成更大障碍物间距的路径,显著降低碰撞风险。
- 无需后处理,直接优化模型参数,实现在真实机器人上零样本迁移。
近期端到端神经运动规划器从原始传感器观测生成轨迹,避免了传统规划器所需的精确几何建模。然而,在杂乱环境中实现无碰撞规划仍具挑战。我们提出NeurRAFT,一种基于锚点级流匹配与清空感知偏好优化的生成式规划框架。不同于以往神经规划器对密集航点序列建模并浪费计算资源于冗余局部细节和光滑性,NeurRAFT 在紧凑的锚点航点上操作。我们使用雅可比加权损失训练规划器,以考虑每个锚点在任务空间中的影响。推理时,锚点通过两步积分生成,随后经三次样条插值恢复为平滑全分辨率轨迹。由于仅从正向示范中学习无法区分无碰撞与近碰撞轨迹,测试时仍存在碰撞倾向。我们不依赖事后修正,而是直接重塑预训练规划器分布,使其趋向更安全解,无需增加推理开销。具体地,直接偏好优化将概率质量转移至具有更大障碍物间隙的轨迹,改进效果直接融入规划器参数。实验显示其显著优于现有最先进规划器,且真实世界实验表明在噪声和部分遮挡深度观测下,能零样本迁移到Franka机器人上。视频结果见 https://neurraft.github.io/。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent end-to-end neural motion planners generate trajectories from raw sensor observations, avoiding the privileged geometric models required by classical planners. However, collision-free planning in cluttered environments remains challenging. We present NeurRAFT, a generative planning framework based on anchor-level flow matching and clearance-aware preference tuning. Unlike prior neural planners that model dense waypoint sequences and spend capacity on redundant local details and smoothness, NeurRAFT operates on compact anchor waypoints. We train the planner using a Jacobian-weighted loss that accounts for the task-space impact of each anchor. At inference, the anchors are generated in two integration steps, followed by cubic-spline interpolation to recover a smooth, full-resolution trajectory. Since imitation learning from positive demonstrations cannot distinguish collision-free from near-collision trajectories, collision-prone behaviors persist at test time. Rather than relying on post-hoc corrections, we directly reshape the pretrained planner's distribution toward safer solutions without augmenting inference. Specifically, Direct Preference Optimization shifts probability mass toward trajectories with larger obstacle clearance, with the resulting improvement directly absorbed into the planner parameters. Experiments show substantial improvements over state-of-the-art planners, while real-world experiments demonstrate zero-shot transfer to a Franka robot under noisy and partially occluded depth observations.
