MAGICS: Adversarial RL with Minimax Actors Guided by Implicit Critic Stackelberg for Convergent Neural Synthesis of Robot Safety

MAGICS uses a structured minimax learning game for neural safety-policy synthesis. The study presents local convergence results and evaluates simulated tasks and a quadruped. Local convergence under stated assumptions differs from a global safety guarantee for a deployed robot.
