Safe Autonomy with Control Barrier Functions: Theory and Applications

by Christos Cassandras, Wei Xiao, Calin Belta, et al.

Book Overview

This book presents the concept of Control Barrier Function (CBF), which captures the evolution of safety requirements during the execution of a system and can be used to enforce safety. Safety is formalized using an emerging state-of-the-art approach based on CBFs, and many illustrative examples from autonomous driving, traffic control, and robot control are provided. Safety is central to autonomous systems since they are intended to operate with...
