接触誘導探索による多批判的強化学習を用いた非把持移動操作
Contact-Guided Exploration for Non-Prehensile Locomanipulation with Multi-Critic RL
非把持操作のための接触誘導探索戦略を多批判的強化学習フレームワークに組み込み、接触を求める報酬で探索を促進し、時間とともにその影響を減衰させてタスク最適な方策を獲得する手法を提案。箱押し、椅子運搬、食洗機開閉などのタスクで評価し、実機の四足移動マニピュレータで椅子運搬を実証した。

Non-prehensile manipulation offers versatile skills for moving and rearranging heavy or bulky objects, particularly when combined with a mobile manipulation platform. However, both model-based and model-free approaches struggle with the complex hybrid dynamics and the sparsity of the contact in these tasks. To address these challenges, we propose a contact-guided exploration strategy implemented within a Multi-Critic Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework. A dedicated exploration critic is trained with a dense contact-seeking reward that guides the end-effector toward meaningful contact points; its influence is progressively decayed to recover a task-optimal policy. We obtain candidate interaction points from a general-purpose grasping algorithm, enabling the exploration mechanism to generalise across various object geometries. We evaluate the approach on multiple tasks, including box pushing, chair transportation, and a dishwasher opening task. Finally, we validate the chair transportation policy through extensive experiments on a quadrupedal mobile manipulator, demonstrating deployable non-prehensile manipulation in the real world.
