VertexCBF is a framework that learns neural control barrier functions (CBFs) by approximating the stationary Hamilton–Jacobi value function with a neural network trained through physics‑informed and sparsely supervised learning. It exploits control‑affine dynamics and a convex polytope control set to generate supervision points via GPU‑parallel vertex‑restricted tree search, ensuring the learned CBF never exceeds the specified constraint function. The method was evaluated on 15 systems, outperforming baselines by recovering larger safe sets, and demonstrated on a mobile robot that safely avoids pedestrians using a neural CBF trained with this approach.

arXiv:2608. 12624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Structure-preserving machine learning embeds physical structure directly into model architectures, yet uncertainty quantification (UQ) for such hard-constrained models remains limited because standard UQ methods may violate the encoded admissibility conditions, require architectural modifications, or impose substantial computational costs.

Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability provides a mathematically rigorous framework for safe control of dynamical systems, but its practical application is bottlenecked by the computational complexity of solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs variational inequality PDEs in high dimensions. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to classical mesh-based solvers, yet their performance is highly sensitive to the choice of collocation sampling.
arXiv:2509. 24627v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Embedding physical intuition into network architectures allows the learning of dynamics that enforce fundamental properties, such as energy conservation laws, thereby leading to physically-plausible predictions.
