Perceptive Hierarchical-Task MPC for Sequential Mobile Manipulation in Unstructured Semi-Static Environments
As compared to typical mobile manipulation tasks, sequential mobile manipulation poses a unique challenge -- as the robot operates over extended periods, successful task completion is not solely dependent on consistent motion generation but also on the robot's awareness and adaptivity to changes in the operating environment. While existing motion planners can generate whole-body trajectories to complete sequential tasks, they typically assume that the environment remains static and rely on precomputed maps. This assumption often breaks down during long-term operations, where semi-static changes such as object removal, introduction, or shifts are common. In this work, we propose a novel perceptive hierarchical-task model predictive control (HTMPC) framework for efficient sequential mobile manipulation in unstructured, changing environments. To tackle the challenge, we leverage a Bayesian inference framework to explicitly model object-level changes and thereby maintain a temporally accurate representation of the 3D environment; this up-to-date representation is embedded in a lexicographic optimization framework to enable efficient execution of sequential tasks. We validate our perceptive HTMPC approach through both simulated and real-robot experiments. In contrast to baseline methods, our approach systematically accounts for moved and phantom obstacles, successfully completing sequential tasks with higher efficiency and reactivity, without relying on prior maps or external infrastructure.
