报告摘要：In this talk, I will introduce a safe reinforcement learning approach to synthesize deep neural network (DNN) controllers for nonlinear systems subject to safety constraints. The proposed approach employs an iterative scheme where a learner and averifier interact to synthesize safe DNN controllers. Thelearner trains a DNN controller via deep reinforcement learning, and the verifier certifies the learned controller through computing a maximal safe initial region and its corresponding barrier certificate, based on polynomial abstraction and bilinear matrix inequalities solving. Compared with the existing verification-in-the-loop synthesis methods, our iterative framework is a sequential synthesis scheme of controllers and barrier certificates, which can learn safe controllers with adaptive barrier certificates rather than user-defined ones. We implement the tool SRLBC and evaluate its performance over a set of benchmark examples. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach efficiently synthesizes safe DNN controllers even for a nonlinear system with dimension up to 12.
