Learning over Forward-Invariant Policy Classes: Reinforcement Learning without Safety Concerns

Chieh Tsai, Muhammad Junayed Hasan Zahed, Salim Hariri +1

This paper proposes a safe reinforcement learning (RL) framework based on forward-invariance-induced action-space design. The control problem is cast as a Markov decision process,…

A Physics-Informed Fixed Skyroad Model for Continuous UAS Traffic Management (C-UTM)

Muhammad Junayed Hasan Zahed, Hossein Rastgoftar

Unlike traditional multi-agent coordination frameworks, which assume a fixed number of agents, UAS traffic management (UTM) requires a platform that enables Uncrewed Aerial Systems…
