Predictive safety filters · Checking learned control inputs

An MPC-based filter checks proposed learning-controller inputs and modifies them when needed using a data-driven model and uncertainty bounds. The paper studies constrained pendulum and Bullet quadrotor simulations.

Source overview

An MPC-based filter checks proposed learning-controller inputs and modifies them when needed using a data-driven model and uncertainty bounds. The paper studies constrained pendulum and Bullet quadrotor simulations.

Use and review

Abstract and quadrotor evaluation section checked. Simulation safety depends on model, uncertainty and terminal-policy assumptions; this does not replace validation of a physical robot safety function.
