My spotlight talk at IROS 2021 Workshop on Safe Real-World Robot Autonomy is online and summarizes some of the more recent work on predictive safety filters.

Check out our new preprint on Learning-based Moving Horizon Estimation through Differentiable Convex Optimization Layers, considering the case of partial state measurements in a constrained learning-based control setting.
[14.07.2021]
Our recently published article called Nonlinear learning-based model predictive control supporting state and input dependent model uncertainty estimates provides a modular framework to incorporate learning-based prediction models in different MPC applications such as set point stabilization and economic system operation.
[10.06.2021]
We’ve proposed a method in our latest article to improve the performance of a model predictive controller using available system trajectories with constraint violations. The underlying mechanism is based on a soft constraint formulation, which supports polytopic terminal sets.
[25.05.2021]
In our new preprint, we propose a mechanism to recover infeasible nonlinear model predictive control problems in an asymptotically stable fashion.

We designed and implemented a predictive safety filter for a miniature racing application and combined it with imitation learning to safely learn an expert policy: Preprint

The Article “A predictive safety filter for learning-based control of constrained nonlinear dynamical systems” has been accepted as a regular paper in Automatica. An updated version of the preprint can be found here.

I presented the concept of predictive safety filters as part of the autonomy talks at ETH. Due to the current pandemic, the talks are available online.
[08.06.2020]
We’ve published a preprint, which provides a theoretical analysis of ‘Bayesian MPC’ in terms of performance and expected safety during learning: `Performance and safety of Bayesian model predictive control: Scalable model-based RL with guarantees‘
