    Abstract: Described is a system for proving correctness properties of a neural network for providing estimates for point cloud data. The system receives as input a description of a neural network for generating estimates from a set of point cloud data. The description of the neural network is parsed to obtain a symbolic representation. Based on a combination of the symbolic representation and a set of analysis parameters, the system generates an analysis output indicating whether the neural network satisfies a correctness property in generating the estimates from the set of point cloud data. The analysis output is a mathematical proof artifact proving that the set of analysis parameters is satisfied, a list of one or more point clouds for which the set of analysis parameters is violated, or a report that progress could not be made by the analysis.

    Abstract: Described is a system and method for generating safety conditions for a cyber-physical system with state space S, action space A and trajectory data labelled as either safe or unsafe. In operation, the system receives inputs and ten minimizes loss functions to cause a neural network to become a barrier function. Based on the barrier function, the system can then determine if the cyber-physical system is entering an usafe state, such that if the cyber-physical system is entering the usafe state, then the cyber-physical system is caused to initiate a maneuver to position the cyber-physical system into a safe state.

    Abstract: Described is a system for training a neural network for estimating surface normals for use in operating an autonomous platform. The system uses a parallelizable k-nearest neighbor sorting algorithm to provide a patch of points, sampled from the point cloud data, as input to the neural network model. The points are transformed from Euclidean coordinates in a Euclidean space to spherical coordinates. A polar angle of a surface normal of the point cloud data is estimated in the spherical coordinates. The trained neural network model is utilized on the autonomous platform, and the estimate of the polar angle of the surface normal is used to guide operation of the autonomous platform within the environment.
