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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This paper introduces time window temporal logic (TWTL), a rich expressivity language for describing various time bounded specifications.
