Generating Robust Supervision for Learning-Based Visual Navigation Using Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability

In Bansal et al. (2019), a novel visual navigation framework that combines learning-based and model-based approaches has been proposed. Specifically, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) predicts a waypoint that is used by the dynamics model for planning and tracking a trajectory to the waypoint. However, the CNN inevitably makes prediction errors which often lead to collisions in cluttered and tight spaces. In this paper, we present a novel Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability-based method to generate supervision for the CNN for waypoint prediction in an unseen environment. By modeling CNN prediction error as "disturbances" in robot's dynamics, our generated waypoints are robust to these disturbances, and consequently to the prediction errors. Moreover, using globally optimal HJ reachability analysis leads to predicting waypoints that are time-efficient and avoid greedy behavior. Through simulations and hardware experiments, we demonstrate the advantages of the proposed approach on navigating through cluttered, narrow indoor environments.
