Sampling-Based Motion Planning with Scene Graphs Under Perception Constraints

Sampling-Based Motion Planning with Scene Graphs Under Perception Constraints

Summary

This paper introduces MOPS-PRM, a motion planning method for high-degree-of-freedom robots that incorporates perception constraints for monitoring multiple objects or humans. By embedding perception costs into a scene graph representation, the approach selectively samples configurations to satisfy user-preferred viewpoints while executing tasks. Extensive evaluations in simulation and real-world settings show approximately 36% improvement in average detected objects and 17% better track rate compared to other perception-constrained baselines, with comparable planning times and path lengths.

Editorial context

The authors present MOPS-PRM, a roadmap-based motion planner for high-degree-of-freedom robots that integrates multi-object perception constraints into sampling-based planning using scene graphs; reported improvements in detection count and tracking rate are based on simulated and real-world experiments described in the abstract.

Sampling-Based Motion Planning with Scene Graphs Under Perception Constraints

arXiv:2603.03514v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: It will be increasingly common for robots to operate in cluttered human-centered environments such as homes, workplaces, and hospitals, where the robot is often tasked to maintain perception constraints, such as monitoring people or multiple objects, for safety and reliability while executing its task. However, existing perception-aware approaches typically focus on

low-degree-of-freedom (DoF) systems or only consider a single object in the context of high-DoF robots. This motivates us to consider the problem of perception-aware motion planning for high-DoF robots that accounts for multi-object monitoring constraints. We employ a scene graph representation of the environment, offering a great potential for incorporating long-horizon task and motion planning thanks to its rich s

To address these challenges, we propose MOPS-PRM, a roadmap-based motion planner, that integrates the perception cost of observing multiple objects or humans directly into motion planning for high-DoF robots. The perception cost is embedded to each object as part of a scene graph,
