Safe Score Matching: Diffusion Policies with Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability for Online Safe Reinforcement Learning

Boyang Li, Matthew Kim, Sylvia Lee Herbert

Online safe reinforcement learning (RL) seeks policies that maximize reward while satisfying safety constraints. A popular line of research in safe RL relaxes safety to a soft expe…

Constrained Flow Policy Updates: A Generalized Schrödinger Bridge View

Boyang Li, Matthew Kim, Sylvia Herbert

Online safe reinforcement learning (RL) seeks policies that maximize reward while satisfying safety constraints. Reward and safety can induce multimodal action distributions, chall…

Value Functions for Temporal Logic: Optimal Policies and Safety Filters

Oswin So, William Sharpless, Sylvia Herbert +1

While Bellman equations for basic reach, avoid, and reach-avoid problems are well studied, the relationship between value optimality and policy optimality becomes subtle in the und…

Solving Reach- and Stabilize-Avoid Problems Using Discounted Reachability

Boyang Li, Zheng Gong, Sylvia Herbert

In this article, we consider the infinite-horizon reach-avoid (RA) and stabilize-avoid (SA) zero-sum game problems for general nonlinear continuous-time systems, where the goal is…

Safe Returning FaSTrack with Robust Control Lyapunov-Value Functions

Zheng Gong, Boyang Li, Sylvia Herbert

Real-time navigation in a priori unknown environment remains a challenging task, especially when an unexpected (unmodeled) disturbance occurs. In this paper, we propose the framewo…

Synthesizing Control Lyapunov-Value Functions for High-Dimensional Systems Using System Decomposition and Admissible Control Sets

Zheng Gong, Hyun Joe Jeong, Sylvia Herbert

Control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) play a vital role in modern control applications, but finding them remains a problem. Recently, the control Lyapunov-value function (CLVF) and rob…

State-Augmented Linear Games with Antagonistic Error for High-Dimensional, Nonlinear Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability

Will Sharpless, Yat Tin Chow, Sylvia Herbert

Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability (HJR) is a popular method for analyzing the liveness and safety of a dynamical system with bounded control and disturbance. The corresponding HJ value…

Conservative Linear Envelopes for Nonlinear, High-Dimensional, Hamilton-Jacobi Reachability

Will Sharpless, Yat Tin Chow, Sylvia Herbert

Hamilton-Jacobi reachability (HJR) provides a value function that encodes the set of states from which a system with bounded control inputs can reach or avoid a target despite any…

Robust Control Lyapunov-Value Functions for Nonlinear Disturbed Systems

Zheng Gong, Sylvia Herbert

Control Lyapunov Functions (CLFs) have been extensively used in the control community. A well-known drawback is the absence of a systematic way to construct CLFs for general nonlin…
