Data-driven Interval MDP for Robust Control Synthesis

no code implementations12 Apr 2024 Rudi Coppola, Andrea Peruffo, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, Manuel Mazo Jr

The abstraction of dynamical systems is a powerful tool that enables the design of feedback controllers using a correct-by-design framework.

A Stability-Based Abstraction Framework for Reach-Avoid Control of Stochastic Dynamical Systems with Unknown Noise Distributions

no code implementations2 Apr 2024 Thom Badings, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, Nils Jansen

To address this issue, we propose a novel abstraction scheme for stochastic linear systems that exploits the system's stability to obtain significantly smaller abstract models.

Abstracting Linear Stochastic Systems via Knowledge Filtering

no code implementations12 Apr 2023 Maico Hendrikus Wilhelmus Engelaar, Licio Romao, Yulong Gao, Mircea Lazar, Alessandro Abate, Sofie Haesaert

In this paper, we propose a new model reduction technique for linear stochastic systems that builds upon knowledge filtering and utilizes optimal Kalman filtering techniques.

Inner approximations of stochastic programs for data-driven stochastic barrier function design

no code implementations10 Apr 2023 Frederik Baymler Mathiesen, Licio Romao, Simeon C. Calvert, Alessandro Abate, Luca Laurenti

In particular, we show that the stochastic program to synthesize a SBF can be relaxed into a chance-constrained optimisation problem on which scenario approach theory applies.

Distributionally Robust Optimal and Safe Control of Stochastic Systems via Kernel Conditional Mean Embedding

no code implementations2 Apr 2023 Licio Romao, Ashish R. Hota, Alessandro Abate

We present a novel distributionally robust framework for dynamic programming that uses kernel methods to design feedback control policies.

Data-driven abstractions via adaptive refinements and a Kantorovich metric [extended version]

no code implementations30 Mar 2023 Adrien Banse, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, Raphaël M. Jungers

In order to learn the optimal structure, we define a Kantorovich-inspired metric between Markov chains, and we use it as a loss function.

Robust Control for Dynamical Systems With Non-Gaussian Noise via Formal Abstractions

1 code implementation4 Jan 2023 Thom Badings, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, David Parker, Hasan A. Poonawala, Marielle Stoelinga, Nils Jansen

This iMDP is, with a user-specified confidence probability, robust against uncertainty in the transition probabilities, and the tightness of the probability intervals can be controlled through the number of samples.

Data-driven memory-dependent abstractions of dynamical systems

no code implementations4 Dec 2022 Adrien Banse, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, Raphaël M. Jungers

We propose a sample-based, sequential method to abstract a (potentially black-box) dynamical system with a sequence of memory-dependent Markov chains of increasing size.

Formal Controller Synthesis for Markov Jump Linear Systems with Uncertain Dynamics

no code implementations1 Dec 2022 Luke Rickard, Thom Badings, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate

We consider the cases where the transition probabilities of this MDP are either known up to an interval or completely unknown.

Probabilities Are Not Enough: Formal Controller Synthesis for Stochastic Dynamical Models with Epistemic Uncertainty

1 code implementation12 Oct 2022 Thom Badings, Licio Romao, Alessandro Abate, Nils Jansen

Stochastic noise causes aleatoric uncertainty, whereas imprecise knowledge of model parameters leads to epistemic uncertainty.

Bounded Robustness in Reinforcement Learning via Lexicographic Objectives

no code implementations30 Sep 2022 Daniel Jarne Ornia, Licio Romao, Lewis Hammond, Manuel Mazo Jr., Alessandro Abate

Policy robustness in Reinforcement Learning may not be desirable at any cost: the alterations caused by robustness requirements from otherwise optimal policies should be explainable, quantifiable and formally verifiable.
