学習された停止可能性値によるヒューマノイドの安全停止
Humanoid Safe Stop via Learned Stoppability Value
ヒューマノイドの緊急停止を到達回避問題として捉え、学習した停止ポリシーと停止可能性推定器を組み合わせたタスク非依存のフレームワークを提案。安全に停止できる場合のみ停止し、不可能な場合はフォールバック動作に切り替える。

原文アブストラクト
Humanoid robots responding to emergency stop commands typically execute a fixed maneuver, without reasoning about whether a safe stop is actually feasible from the current state. We cast emergency stopping as a reach-avoid problem and propose Safe-Stop, a task-agnostic framework that pairs a learned stop policy with learned stoppability estimators. The estimators are complementary: a stop-probability estimator supervised by the actual outcomes of the fixed stop policy, and a reach-avoidance estimator supervised by a Hamilton-Jacobi backup over physical state. The first captures emergent stopping behavior of the learned controller; the second provides a complementary recoverability signal. Because the stop policy and estimators do not depend on the behavior policy that preceded the stop command, they transfer across diverse upstream tasks without retraining. At deployment, the two estimates are combined: Safe-Stop commits to the stop only when both estimators indicate that stopping remains feasible, otherwise it hands off to a fall policy, instantiated as a damping fallback. This agreement check yields decisions that are robust without sacrificing reactivity.
