Control Barrier Functions: Theory and Applications

Systems and Control 2019-03-28 v1

Abstract

This paper provides an introduction and overview of recent work on control barrier functions and their use to verify and enforce safety properties in the context of (optimization based) safety-critical controllers. We survey the main technical results and discuss applications to several domains including robotic systems.
