RECREG: Recovery-based Shielding for Regular Safety Properties in Reinforcement Learning

In this paper we introduce RecReg, a safe RL framework capable of enforcing non-Markovian regular safety properties via recovery-based shielding.

Key points

  • In many real-world scenarios we need to consider formal requirements, such as safety and constraint compliance, to deploy Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents.
  • RecReg is a unified approach that supports different levels of a priori knowledge and safety guarantees.
  • We provide an extensive set of empirical results using the MASA-Safe-RL library, and we outline an extension of RecReg to deep RL domains using SOTA model-based RL.
  • Our empirical results demonstrate that RecReg achieves efficient learning and matches the theory in this paper.
