控制屏障函数(CBF)被广泛用于设计基于优化的控制器和滤波器,以保证动态系统在安全状态集上的前向不变性。尽管CBF控制器能提供安全保证,但可能损害系统性能,导致轨迹无界或出现局部稳定虚假平衡点。计算具有CBF控制器系统的可达集是运行时性能与稳定性验证的有效方法,也可用于轨迹重规划。本文提出一种计算高效的区间可达性方法,用于基于优化控制器系统的性能验证:(i) 通过预训练神经网络近似优化控制器,避免重复求解优化问题;(ii) 利用混合单调理论构建嵌入系统,结合最先进的神经网络验证算法,对神经网络输出进行边界约束。推导了优化控制器与神经网络控制器轨迹解之间的接近性结果。仅需单条嵌入系统轨迹及该接近性结论,即可获得原系统可达集的超逼近。数值结果验证了技术发现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) have been widely utilized in the design of optimization-based controllers and filters for dynamical systems to ensure forward invariance of a given set of safe states. While CBF-based controllers offer safety guarantees, they can compromise the performance of the system, leading to undesirable behaviors such as unbounded trajectories and emergence of locally stable spurious equilibria. Computing reachable sets for systems with CBF-based controllers is an effective approach for runtime performance and stability verification, and can potentially serve as a tool for trajectory re-planning. In this paper, we propose a computationally efficient interval reachability method for performance verification of systems with optimization-based controllers by: (i) approximating the optimization-based controller by a pre-trained neural network to avoid solving optimization problems repeatedly, and (ii) using mixed monotone theory to construct an embedding system that leverages state-of-the-art neural network verification algorithms for bounding the output of the neural network. Results in terms of closeness of solutions of trajectories of the system with the optimization-based controller and the neural network are derived. Using a single trajectory of the embedding system along with our closeness of solutions result, we obtain an over-approximation of the reachable set of the system with optimization-based controllers. Numerical results are presented to corroborate the technical findings.
