BarrierNet

A safety guaranteed neural network controller for autonomous systems

pipeline

There are three simple control demos (traffic merging, 2D and 3D robot control) and one vision-based end-to-end autonomous driving demo.

Install vista (please install the VISTA version provided in this repo, not from others).

conda activate bnet
cd driving/vista
pip install -e .

Brief introduction to vision-based driving in VISTA

There are two models in this example: barrier_net and state_net. The state_net is used to infer the states of the ego vehicle and obstacles from the image observations, and the barrier_net (using the predicted state from state_net model) predicts safe controls from image observations. The differentiable CBFs are implemented in barrier_net. You may adapt the corresponding safety constraints in your examples. For more details, please refer to the paper listed at the end.

Training vision-based driving in VISTA

Download training data (change the path in train_split.csv, test_split.csv, and val_split.csv to your local path, otherwise, you may generate the csv files by yourself): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cV9ByK0qGtRDv32uhPMqgRbQUP1hYQPZ/view?usp=drive_link

conda activate bnet
cd driving
bash scripts/run_example.sh --data-src ./your_path_to_data/data

Note: if state_net is missing, then the barrier_net uses the ground truth states of the ego vehicle and obstacles (available in VISTA).
