Control Barrier Function for Linearizable Systems with High Relative Degrees from Signal Temporal Logics: A Reference Governor Approach

no code implementations15 Sep 2023 Kaier Liang, Mingyu Cai, Cristian-Ioan Vasile

We developed an explicit reference governor-guided control barrier function (ERG-guided CBF) method that enables the application of first-order CBFs to high-order linearizable systems.

Symbolic Perception Risk in Autonomous Driving

no code implementations16 Mar 2023 Guangyi Liu, Disha Kamale, Cristian-Ioan Vasile, Nader Motee

We develop a novel framework to assess the risk of misperception in a traffic sign classification task in the presence of exogenous noise.

Learning Minimally-Violating Continuous Control for Infeasible Linear Temporal Logic Specifications

no code implementations3 Oct 2022 Mingyu Cai, Makai Mann, Zachary Serlin, Kevin Leahy, Cristian-Ioan Vasile

This is achieved by decomposing an infeasible LTL formula into several reach-avoid sub-tasks with shorter horizons, which can be trained in a modular DRL architecture.

Overcoming Exploration: Deep Reinforcement Learning for Continuous Control in Cluttered Environments from Temporal Logic Specifications

no code implementations28 Jan 2022 Mingyu Cai, Erfan Aasi, Calin Belta, Cristian-Ioan Vasile

This work presents a deep policy gradient algorithm for controlling a robot with unknown dynamics operating in a cluttered environment when the task is specified as a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formula.

Safety-Critical Learning of Robot Control with Temporal Logic Specifications

no code implementations7 Sep 2021 Mingyu Cai, Cristian-Ioan Vasile

Then, by applying a reward shaping technique, we develop a modular policy-gradient architecture exploiting the benefits of the automaton structure to decompose overall tasks and enhance the performance of learned controllers; (3) by incorporating Gaussian Processes (GPs) to estimate the uncertain dynamic systems, we synthesize a model-based safe exploration during the learning process using Exponential Control Barrier Functions (ECBFs) that generalize systems with high-order relative degrees; (4) to further improve the efficiency of exploration, we utilize the properties of LTL automata and ECBFs to propose a safe guiding process.

Fast Decomposition of Temporal Logic Specifications for Heterogeneous Teams

no code implementations30 Sep 2020 Kevin Leahy, Austin Jones, Cristian-Ioan Vasile

In this work, we focus on decomposing large multi-agent path planning problems with global temporal logic goals (common to all agents) into smaller sub-problems that can be solved and executed independently.

Reinforcement Learning With Temporal Logic Rewards

no code implementations11 Dec 2016 Xiao Li, Cristian-Ioan Vasile, Calin Belta

We propose Truncated Linear Temporal Logic (TLTL) as specifications language, that is arguably well suited for the robotics applications, together with quantitative semantics, i. e., robustness degree.
