We propose a new specification language and control synthesis technique for single and multi-robot high-level tasks; these tasks include timing constraints and reaction to environmental events. Specifically, we define Event-based Signal Temporal Logic (STL) and use it to encode tasks that are reactive to uncontrolled environment events. Our control synthesis approach to Event-based STL tasks combines automata and control barrier functions to produce robot behaviors that satisfy the specification when possible. Our method automatically provides feedback to the user if an Event-based STL task can not be achieved. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework through simulations and physical demonstrations of multi-robot tasks.

A framework for the event-triggered control synthesis under signal temporal logic (STL) tasks is proposed. In our previous work, a continuous-time feedback control law was designed, using the prescribed performance control technique, to satisfy STL t asks. We replace this continuous-time feedback control law by an event-triggered controller. The event-triggering mechanism is based on a maximum triggering interval and on a norm bound on the difference between the value of the current state and the value of the state at the last triggering instance. Simulations of a multi-agent system quantitatively show the efficacy of using an event-triggered controller to reduce communication and computation efforts.
We reformulate the signal temporal logic (STL) synthesis problem as a maximum a-posteriori (MAP) inference problem. To this end, we introduce the notion of random STL~(RSTL), which extends deterministic STL with random predicates. This new probabilis tic extension naturally leads to a synthesis-as-inference approach. The proposed method allows for differentiable, gradient-based synthesis while extending the class of possible uncertain semantics. We demonstrate that the proposed framework scales well with GPU-acceleration, and present realistic applications of uncertain semantics in robotics that involve target tracking and the use of occupancy grids.
This paper investigates the task coordination of multi-robot where each robot has a private individual temporal logic task specification; and also has to jointly satisfy a globally given collaborative temporal logic task specification. To efficiently generate feasible and optimized task execution plans for the robots, we propose a hierarchical multi-robot temporal task planning framework, in which a central server allocates the collaborative tasks to the robots, and then individual robots can independently synthesize their task execution plans in a decentralized manner. Furthermore, we propose an execution plan adjusting mechanism that allows the robots to iteratively modify their execution plans via privacy-preserved inter-agent communication, to improve the expected actual execution performance by reducing waiting time in collaborations for the robots. The correctness and efficiency of the proposed method are analyzed and also verified by extensive simulation experiments.
We study the problem of controlling multi-agent systems under a set of signal temporal logic tasks. Signal temporal logic is a formalism that is used to express time and space constraints for dynamical systems. Recent methods to solve the control syn thesis problem for single-agent systems under signal temporal logic tasks are, however, subject to a high computational complexity. Methods for multi-agent systems scale at least linearly with the number of agents and induce even higher computational burdens. We propose a computationally-efficient control strategy to solve the multi-agent control synthesis problem that results in a robust satisfaction of a set of signal temporal logic tasks. In particular, a decentralized feedback control law is proposed that is based on time-varying control barrier functions. The obtained control law is discontinuous and formal guarantees are provided by nonsmooth analysis. Simulations show the efficacy of the presented method.
Learning-from-demonstrations is an emerging paradigm to obtain effective robot control policies for complex tasks via reinforcement learning without the need to explicitly design reward functions. However, it is susceptible to imperfections in demons trations and also raises concerns of safety and interpretability in the learned control policies. To address these issues, we use Signal Temporal Logic to evaluate and rank the quality of demonstrations. Temporal logic-based specifications allow us to create non-Markovian rewards, and also define interesting causal dependencies between tasks such as sequential task specifications. We validate our approach through experiments on discrete-world and OpenAI Gym environments, and show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art Maximum Causal Entropy Inverse Reinforcement Learning.
