Parallel Differentiable Reachability for Learning and Planning with Certified Neural Dynamics and Controllers 文章

arXiv:2605.25346v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural network (NN) dynamics models and control policies achieve strong performance in robotics, but providing sound guarantees under uncertainty remains difficult, especially for closed-loop NN systems. Existing reachability tools provide formal over-approximations, yet are often non-differentiable, overly conservative, or too slow for modern learning and online planning pipelines. To address this, we present a parallelizable, differentiable reachability framework in JAX for continuous- and discrete-time systems with analytical and NN-based dynamics and controllers. Our framework combines Taylor-model flowpipe construction with CROWN-style linear bound propagation through a unified representation that preserves affine dependencies while supporting GPU-batched computation and automatic differentiation.
