PAC-MAN: Perception-Aware CBF-RL for Whole-Body Safety in Humanoid Dodgeball

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.28623v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We present PAC-MAN, a perception-aware CBF-RL framework that couples control-barrier safety with deployment-realistic onboard sensing for whole-body humanoid dodgeball. The deployed policy sees the ball only as segmentation-masked depth from a head-mounted camera, while training-time CBF guidance represents clearance to every body link, and an adversarial motion prior regularizes the resulting evasive reflexes. We evaluate on a controlled any-link contact benchmark with seeded throws in two regimes: single throws and a deployment loop in which the robot walks back to its station and recovers between throws. On this benchmark, the policy comes within a few points of a privileged state oracle: a fixed onboard camera alone is adequate
