Model predictive stability filters for advanced driver assistance systems
In this project, we want to explore the application of predictive stability filters for automotive applications. Predictive stability filters allow augmenting human or learning-based controllers such that safety in terms of constraint satisfaction as well as stability of a desired setpoint can be guaranteed. Such algorithms present possible solutions for automotive applications such as, e.g., lane keeping.

Safe guaranteed domain exploration with autonomous robots
In many autonomous navigation applications, the robot must interact with the environment to learn and complete tasks. Furthermore, these applications are safety-critical, and crashes cannot be afforded. This necessitates the safe learning of the unknown environment in order to achieve the task objective (e.g., detecting a leak or mapping an area). For example, consider an application of safe exploration in a warehouse with a wheeled robot to identify the source of a gas leak.

Multi-agent predictive control barrier functions
In this project, we want to explore possible extensions of predictive control barrier functions to the multi-agent setting. Predictive control barrier functions [1] allow certifying safety of a system in terms of constraint satisfaction and provide stability guarantees with respect to the set of safe states in case of initial feasibility. This allows augmenting any human or learning-based controller with closed-loop guarantees through a so-called safety filter [2] which is agnostic to the primary control objective. As current formulations are restricted to single agents, the goal is to investigate how this formulation can be extended for multi-agent applications and how the interactions between the agents can be exploited in order to reduce computational overhead.
