  Deep reinforcement learning has been successfully applied to many control
tasks, but the application of such agents in safety-critical scenarios has been
limited due to safety concerns. Rigorous testing of these controllers is
challenging, particularly when they operate in probabilistic environments due
to, for example, hardware faults or noisy sensors. We propose MOSAIC, an
algorithm for measuring the safety of deep reinforcement learning agents in
stochastic settings. Our approach is based on the iterative construction of a
formal abstraction of a controller's execution in an environment, and leverages
probabilistic model checking of Markov decision processes to produce
probabilistic guarantees on safe behaviour over a finite time horizon. It
produces bounds on the probability of safe operation of the controller for
different initial configurations and identifies regions where correct behaviour
can be guaranteed. We implement and evaluate our approach on agents trained for
several benchmark control problems.
