Barrier-based test synthesis for safety-critical systems subject to timed reach-avoid specifications

P Akella, M Ahmadi, RM Murray… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose an adversarial, time-varying test-synthesis procedure for safety-critical systems
without requiring specific knowledge of the underlying controller steering the system. From a …

Test and evaluation of quadrupedal walking gaits through sim2real gap quantification

P Akella, W Ubellacker, AD Ames - arXiv preprint arXiv:2201.01323, 2022 - arxiv.org
In this letter, the authors propose a two-step approach to evaluate and verify a true system's
capacity to satisfy its operational objective. Specifically, whenever the system objective has …
