BarrierFormer learns predictive safety during training, enabling model-free, optimization-free safe control at deployment with low inference latency. We evaluate it across multiple dynamical systems and study safety, goal reaching, robustness, and zero-shot generalization.

“un-parallel-ed speed”
Super cool collaboration with @paraga, @georgepickett and team. Access the web and bring in the freshest information to your voice agent while it talks and listens. All at un-parallel-ed speeds.

We propose leader-based decision-making algorithm that uses central node for efficient real-time reconfiguration, reducing decision-making time to depend on the graph diameter rather than the number of nodes and requiring only one round of information transfer through the network

Engineers developed a training method for multiagent systems, such as large numbers of drones, that can guarantee their safe operation in crowded environments. The research could improve the safety of drone shows, warehouse robots, and self-driving cars. mitsha.re/t4t750URvUO
