Practical Considerations for Discrete-Time Implementations of Continuous-Time Control Barrier Function-Based Safety Filters
Lukas Brunke, Siqi Zhou, Mingxuan Che +1
Safety filters based on control barrier functions (CBFs) have become a popular method to guarantee safety for uncertified control policies, e.g., as resulting from reinforcement le…
Multi-Step Model Predictive Safety Filters: Reducing Chattering by Increasing the Prediction Horizon
Federico Pizarro Bejarano, Lukas Brunke, Angela P. Schoellig
Learning-based controllers have demonstrated superior performance compared to classical controllers in various tasks. However, providing safety guarantees is not trivial. Safety, t…
