We develop a control algorithm that ensures the safety, in terms of confinement in a set, of a system with unknown, 2nd-order nonlinear dynamics. The algorithm establishes novel connections between data-driven and robust, nonlinear control. It is based on data obtained online from the current trajectory and the concept of reciprocal barriers. More specifically, it first uses the obtained data to calculate set-valued functions that over-approximate the unknown dynamic terms. For the second step of the algorithm, we design a robust control scheme that uses these functions as well as reciprocal barriers to render the system forward invariant with respect to the safe set. In addition, we provide an extension of the algorithm that tackles issues of controllability loss incurred by the nullspace of the control-direction matrix. The algorithm removes a series of standard, limiting assumptions considered in the related literature since it does not require global boundedness, growth conditions, or a priori approximations of the unknown dynamics terms.

Control barrier functions have shown great success in addressing control problems with safety guarantees. These methods usually find the next safe control input by solving an online quadratic programming problem. However, model uncertainty is a big c
hallenge in synthesizing controllers. This may lead to the generation of unsafe control actions, resulting in severe consequences. In this paper, we develop a learning framework to deal with system uncertainty. Our method mainly focuses on learning the dynamics of the control barrier function, especially for high relative degree with respect to a system. We show that for each order, the time derivative of the control barrier function can be separated into the time derivative of the nominal control barrier function and a remainder. This implies that we can use a neural network to learn the remainder so that we can approximate the dynamics of the real control barrier function. We show by simulation that our method can generate safe trajectories under parametric uncertainty using a differential drive robot model.
A method is presented to learn neural network (NN) controllers with stability and safety guarantees through imitation learning (IL). Convex stability and safety conditions are derived for linear time-invariant plant dynamics with NN controllers by me
rging Lyapunov theory with local quadratic constraints to bound the nonlinear activation functions in the NN. These conditions are incorporated in the IL process, which minimizes the IL loss, and maximizes the volume of the region of attraction associated with the NN controller simultaneously. An alternating direction method of multipliers based algorithm is proposed to solve the IL problem. The method is illustrated on an inverted pendulum system, aircraft longitudinal dynamics, and vehicle lateral dynamics.
This paper considers the problem of safety controller synthesis for systems equipped with sensor modalities that can provide preview information. We consider switched systems where switching mode is an external signal for which preview information is
available. In particular, it is assumed that the sensors can notify the controller about an upcoming mode switch before the switch occurs. We propose preview automaton, a mathematical construct that captures both the preview information and the possible constraints on switching signals. Then, we study safety control synthesis problem with preview information. An algorithm that computes the maximal invariant set in a given mode-dependent safe set is developed. These ideas are demonstrated on two case studies from autonomous driving domain.
In this paper, we propose a notion of high-order (zeroing) barrier functions that generalizes the concept of zeroing barrier functions and guarantees set forward invariance by checking their higher order derivatives. The proposed formulation guarante
es asymptotic stability of the forward invariant set, which is highly favorable for robustness with respect to model perturbations. No forward completeness assumption is needed in our setting in contrast to existing high order barrier function methods. For the case of controlled dynamical systems, we relax the requirement of uniform relative degree and propose a singularity-free control scheme that yields a locally Lipschitz control signal and guarantees safety. Furthermore, the proposed formulation accounts for performance-critical control: it guarantees that a subset of the forward invariant set will admit any existing, bounded control law, while still ensuring forward invariance of the set. Finally, a non-trivial case study with rigid-body attitude dynamics and interconnected cell regions as the safe region is investigated.
Neural networks have been increasingly applied for control in learning-enabled cyber-physical systems (LE-CPSs) and demonstrated great promises in improving system performance and efficiency, as well as reducing the need for complex physical models.
However, the lack of safety guarantees for such neural network based controllers has significantly impeded their adoption in safety-critical CPSs. In this work, we propose a controller adaptation approach that automatically switches among multiple controllers, including neural network controllers, to guarantee system safety and improve energy efficiency. Our approach includes two key components based on formal methods and machine learning. First, we approximate each controller with a Bernstein-polynomial based hybrid system model under bounded disturbance, and compute a safe invariant set for each controller based on its corresponding hybrid system. Intuitively, the invariant set of a controller defines the state space where the system can always remain safe under its control. The union of the controllers invariants sets then define a safe adaptation space that is larger than (or equal to) that of each controller. Second, we develop a deep reinforcement learning method to learn a controller switching strategy for reducing the control/actuation energy cost, while with the help of a safety guard rule, ensuring that the system stays within the safe space. Experiments on a linear adaptive cruise control system and a non-linear Van der Pols oscillator demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on energy saving and safety enhancement.
