AI 中文摘要
直接基于B型图像的机器人超声策略需要大量交互数据,而真实机器人的数据采集成本高且受安全限制。仿真提供了可扩展的替代方案,但零样本迁移不仅依赖单帧真实感,还取决于模拟观测是否复现探头运动诱导的任务相关特征变化,我们将这种跨域一致性称为任务相关特征动力学保真度(TR-FDF)。在局部正则性假设下,我们的收缩分析表明,TR-FDF失配对探头运动的敏感性越高,有效闭环收缩裕度越小;而与运动无关的误差主要增大残差误差界。受此分析指导,我们开发了面向TR-FDF的超声模拟器,其结合了共享结构中间域、轨迹级固定噪声和少步条件流生成。在体模实验中,仅在仿真中训练的策略在四个目标平面的400次零样本部署中成功了390次。该模拟器的FID为29.66,生成观测的速度为67.1 Hz。受控干预、消融实验和基线对比显示,TR-FDF敏感性在预测零样本迁移性能方面补充了单帧真实感。
英文摘要
Robotic ultrasound policies operating directly on B-mode images require extensive interaction data, whereas real-robot data collection is costly and safety-constrained. Simulation provides a scalable alternative, but zero-shot transfer depends not only on single-frame realism but also on whether simulated observations reproduce task-relevant feature changes induced by probe motion. We term this cross-domain consistency task-relevant feature-dynamics fidelity (TR-FDF). Under local regularity assumptions, our contraction analysis shows that greater sensitivity of TR-FDF mismatch to probe motion reduces the effective closed-loop contraction margin, whereas motion-independent errors primarily enlarge the residual error bound. Guided by this analysis, we develop a TR-FDF-oriented ultrasound simulator that combines a shared structural intermediate domain, trajectory-level fixed noise, and few-step conditional flow generation. In phantom experiments, a policy trained exclusively in simulation succeeded in 390 of 400 zero-shot deployments across four target planes. The simulator achieved an FID of 29.66 and generated observations at 67.1 Hz. Controlled interventions, ablations, and baseline comparisons showed that TR-FDF sensitivity complements single-frame realism in predicting zero-shot transfer performance.
