Abstract
Aiming at the problems of difficult multi-source data alignment, high fusion complexity, and insufficient real-time decision-making performance of service robots in unstructured environments, a method combining a cross-modal attention fusion network and an Actor-Critic decision architecture is proposed. Multi-dimensional semantic representation is achieved through spatial registration of RGB-D vision and laser point cloud, together with the fusion of visual, laser, voice, and tactile features. Spatio-temporal convolutional networks are used to model dynamic sequence features, and an end-to-end mapping from perception to decision is constructed. Experiments based on the TIAGo robot platform show that the target recognition accuracy of this method reaches 91.4%, the scene segmentation mIoU is 79.6%, and the decision response time is 76 ms. The task success rate exceeds 91% in each of the three typical scenarios: household object grasping, medical personnel following, and commercial navigation obstacle avoidance, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of perception accuracy, real-time performance and robustness.
