Safe Reinforcement Learning Using Robust Action Governor
(2102.10643)Abstract
Reinforcement Learning (RL) is essentially a trial-and-error learning procedure which may cause unsafe behavior during the exploration-and-exploitation process. This hinders the application of RL to real-world control problems, especially to those for safety-critical systems. In this paper, we introduce a framework for safe RL that is based on integration of a RL algorithm with an add-on safety supervision module, called the Robust Action Governor (RAG), which exploits set-theoretic techniques and online optimization to manage safety-related requirements during learning. We illustrate this proposed safe RL framework through an application to automotive adaptive cruise control.
