Abstract:Experience-based methods like reinforcement learning (RL) are often deemed less suitable for the safety field due to concerns about potential safety issues. To bridge this gap, we introduce STPA-RL, a methodology that integrates RL with System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA). STPA is a safety analysis technique that identifies causative factors leading to unsafe control actions and system hazards through loss scenarios. In the context of STPA-RL, we formalize the Markov Decision Process based on STPA analysi… Show more
