We present a scalable algorithm for learning parametric constraints in high dimensions from safe expert demonstrations. To reduce the ill-posedness of the constraint recovery problem, our method uses hit-and-run sampling to generate lower cost, and thus unsafe, trajectories. Both safe and unsafe trajectories are used to obtain a representation of the unsafe set that is compatible with the data by solving an integer program in that representation's parameter space. Our method can either leverage a known parameterization or incrementally grow a parameterization while remaining consistent with the data, and we provide theoretical guarantees on the conservativeness of the recovered unsafe set. We evaluate our method on high-dimensional constraints for high-dimensional systems by learning constraints for 7-DOF arm, quadrotor, and planar pushing examples, and show that our method outperforms baseline approaches.
