Safety Embedded Autonomy: From Barrier States to Intelligent and Differentiable Control

-

B9 R2325

This talk presents a safety-embedded approach to autonomy that builds safety directly into the control dynamics through Barrier States, then extends it with adaptive and differentiable control so that autonomous systems can stay safe, adapt to changing dynamics, and improve through physical interaction.
