摘要

摘要: 作为机器人技能学习中的一个重要分支, 模仿学习近年来在机器人系统中得到了广泛的应用. 模仿学习能够将人类的技能以一种相对直接的方式迁移到机器人系统中, 其思路是先从少量示教样本中提取相应的运动特征, 然后将该特征泛化到新的情形. 本文针对机器人运动轨迹的模仿学习进行综述. 首先详细解释模仿学习中的技能泛化、收敛性和外插等基本问题; 其次从原理上对动态运动基元、概率运动基元和核化运动基元等主要的模仿学习算法进行介绍; 然后深入地讨论模仿学习中姿态和刚度矩阵的学习问题、协同和不确定性预测的问题以及人机交互中的模仿学习等若干关键问题; 最后本文探讨了结合因果推理的模仿学习等几个未来的发展方向.

Abstract: As a promising direction in the community of robot learning, imitation learning has achieved great success in a myriad of robotic systems. Imitation learning is capable of providing a straightforward way to transfer human skills to robots by extracting motion features from few demonstrations and subsequently employing them to new scenarios. This paper will review literature on trajectory learning by imitation for robots. The basic problems in imitation learning are first described in detail, such as skill adaptation, convergence and extrapolation. After that, state-of-the-art approaches are introduced, including dynamical movement primitives, probabilistic movement primitives and kernelized movement primitives. Later, various key problems are explained at length, e.g., learning of orientations and stiffness matrices, synergy and uncertainty prediction, as well as imitation learning in human-robot interaction. Finally, the possible future directions of imitation learning, for instance, the combination of imitation learning and causal inference, are discussed.

1) ¹ 在一些文献中轨迹的模仿学习被归类为BC, 然而考虑到其研究内容的差异, 本文采用不同的划分方式.

2) ² 将式(2)中的$ \boldsymbol{{s}} $和$ \boldsymbol{{\xi}} $分别用$ \boldsymbol{{\xi}} $和$ \dot{\boldsymbol{{\xi}}} $进行替换即可.

3) ³ 该协方差可以控制自适应轨迹经过期望点$ \boldsymbol{{\mu}}_t^{*} $的误差: $ \boldsymbol{{\Sigma}}_t^{*} $越小则误差越小, 反之则误差变大.⁴ 根据文献([35], 第3.6节), 固定基函数的数量常随输入变量维度的增加呈指数级增加.⁵ 关于从GMM中采样的方法可以参考文献[59].

4) ⁴ 根据文献([35], 第3.6节), 固定基函数的数量常随输入变量维度的增加呈指数级增加.

5) ⁵ 关于从GMM中采样的方法可以参考文献[59].

6) ⁶ 对于期望点输入和参考轨迹存在重叠的情况, 可参考文献[6]中的轨迹更新策略.

7) ⁷ 在预测之前需要获得足够多的训练样本对$ \{\boldsymbol{{s}}, \tilde{\boldsymbol{{w}}}\} $.

8) ⁸ 分割后的轨迹片段一般不等同于MP, 常常不同的轨迹片段可能对应相同的MP, 因此需要对轨迹片段进行聚类.

9) ⁹ 向量值GP通过恰当的可分离核函数可以表征多维轨迹之间的协同关系, 然而其未考虑轨迹本身的方差, 故这里未将其包括在内.

10) ¹⁰ 这里使用“协方差”是为了表明i)和ii)使用相同的预测模型.¹¹ 这些工作中对应的控制器被称作最小干涉控制(Minimal intervention control).

11) ¹¹ 这些工作中对应的控制器被称作最小干涉控制(Minimal intervention control).

12) ¹² 利用泛函梯度得到的导数为函数, 该导数用来对函数本身进行优化.

13) ¹³ 该更新同时也需要机器人的观测轨迹, 然而该轨迹恰是需要预测的, 因此文献[20]在更新$ \boldsymbol{{w}} $时将机器人的观测值设成零向量, 同时将拟合机器人轨迹的基函数设成零矩阵.
