📝 摘要（中文）

动态运动原型（DMPs）为编码平滑机器人运动提供了灵活框架，但在整合视觉和语言等多模态输入方面面临挑战。为充分发挥DMPs的潜力，本文提出了关键词标记原型选择和关键点对生成引导的运动原型（KeyMPs）框架。该框架结合了视觉-语言模型（VLMs）与DMPs的序列化，利用VLMs的高层推理能力选择参考原型，并生成空间缩放参数，从而实现与多模态输入意图一致的一次性运动生成。通过在物体切割和蛋糕涂抹等两个遮挡丰富的任务上进行实验验证，结果显示该方法在性能上优于其他集成VLM支持的DMP方法。

🔬 方法详解

问题定义：本文旨在解决DMP在处理多模态输入时的整合问题，尤其是在复杂运动生成中，现有方法无法有效应对观察遮挡的挑战。

核心思路：提出KeyMPs框架，利用VLMs的高层推理能力选择合适的运动原型，并通过生成关键点对来指导DMP的序列化，从而实现一次性运动生成。

技术框架：KeyMPs框架包括两个主要模块：关键词标记原型选择模块和关键点对生成模块。前者负责从VLMs中选择参考原型，后者生成空间缩放参数以指导DMP的运动序列。

关键创新：最重要的创新在于将VLMs与DMPs有效结合，使得DMPs能够处理复杂的多模态输入，尤其是在遮挡情况下的运动生成，显著提升了生成的灵活性和准确性。

关键设计：在设计中，关键词标记原型选择使用了特定的语义标签来增强选择的准确性，关键点对生成则通过空间关系建模来优化运动参数，确保生成的运动与输入意图高度一致。

📄 摘要（原文）

Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) provide a flexible framework wherein smooth robotic motions are encoded into modular parameters. However, they face challenges in integrating multimodal inputs commonly used in robotics like vision and language into their framework. To fully maximize DMPs' potential, enabling them to handle multimodal inputs is essential. In addition, we also aim to extend DMPs' capability to handle object-focused tasks requiring one-shot complex motion generation, as observation occlusion could easily happen mid-execution in such tasks (e.g., knife occlusion in cake icing, hand occlusion in dough kneading, etc.). A promising approach is to leverage Vision-Language Models (VLMs), which process multimodal data and can grasp high-level concepts. However, they typically lack enough knowledge and capabilities to directly infer low-level motion details and instead only serve as a bridge between high-level instructions and low-level control. To address this limitation, we propose Keyword Labeled Primitive Selection and Keypoint Pairs Generation Guided Movement Primitives (KeyMPs), a framework that combines VLMs with sequencing of DMPs. KeyMPs use VLMs' high-level reasoning capability to select a reference primitive through \emph{keyword labeled primitive selection} and VLMs' spatial awareness to generate spatial scaling parameters used for sequencing DMPs by generalizing the overall motion through \emph{keypoint pairs generation}, which together enable one-shot vision-language guided motion generation that aligns with the intent expressed in the multimodal input. We validate our approach through experiments on two occlusion-rich tasks: object cutting, conducted in both simulated and real-world environments, and cake icing, performed in simulation. These evaluations demonstrate superior performance over other DMP-based methods that integrate VLM support.
