Abstract

Control systems designed via learning methods, aiming at quasi-optimal solutions, typically lack stability and performance guarantees. We propose a method to construct a near-optimal control law by means of model-based reinforcement learning and subsequently verifying the reachability and safety of the closed-loop control system through an automatically synthesized Lyapunov barrier function. We demonstrate the method on the control of an anti-lock braking system. Here the optimal control synthesis is used to minimize the braking distance, whereas we use verification to show guaranteed convergence to standstill and formally bound the braking distance.
