Introducing the control barrier function is a typical method for imposing safety constraints by constructing the forward invariant set, but this approach generally suffers from the conservativeness of the forward invariant set and difficulties in the training process. To overcome these challenges, this paper proposes a novel algorithm called model-based safe RL with high-order control barrier function (MBSRL-HOCBF). The concepts of generalized feasibility are introduced, including generalized feasible state and generalized feasible region, which can be applied to the modified HOCBF conditions during training, thus reducing the conservativeness of the forward invariant set of HOCBF while ensuring both safety and algorithm performance. Additionally, the safety indicator that explicitly identifies safe states without requiring knowing specific safety criteria is incorporated, and integrated into the common environment model. The integration combines the advantages of traditional model-based RL, including using model-generated data to speed up algorithm training, with the ability to identify the generalized feasibility of each state. Simulation results demonstrate that MBSRL-HOCBF not only achieves high returns but also guarantees safety across multiple control tasks.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50291,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control","volume":"35 9","pages":"3844-3855"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To tackle this complex issue, a predefined-time hierarchical control (PTHC) scheme is developed. A predefined-time distributed estimator algorithm is designed for each follower to estimate the states of leaders using neighboring relative information. By applying an innovative predefined-time non-singular sliding mode surface governed by time-regulator functions, the system state is driven to the origin within a specified timeframe, ensuring zero-error predefined-time stability. This method guarantees that the settling time is independent of initial conditions and can be explicitly set as a control parameter.
