contents This paper proposes a safe reinforcement learning filter (SRLF) to realize multicopter collision-free trajectory tracking with input disturbance. A novel robust control barrier function (RCBF) with its analysis techniques is introduced to avoid collisions with unknown disturbances during tracking. To ensure the system state remains within the safe set, the RCBF gain is designed in control action. A safety filter is introduced to transform unsafe reinforcement learning (RL) control inputs into safe ones, allowing RL training to proceed without explicitly considering safety constraints. The SRLF obtains rigorous guaranteed safe control action by solving a quadratic programming (QP) problem that incorporates forward invariance of RCBF and input saturation constraints. Both simulation and real-world experiments on multicopters demonstrate the effectiveness and excellent performance of SRLF in achieving collision-free tracking under input disturbances and saturation.
