Abstract
In this talk, we present our recent works on the stabilization with guaranteed safety problem for general nonlinear systems where safety refers to the situation where all admissible state trajectories must avoid a set of unsafe states. We present a method of merging the classical Control Lyapunov Function (CLF) with the Control Barrier Function (CLBF). We also discuss how to measure the robustness of safety of the closed-loop system in the presence of external disturbances. Complementary to the well-known input-to-state stability (ISS) notion for analyzing systems’ stability robustness, we introduce an input-to-state safety (ISSf) notion which can be used for the robustness analysis of systems’ safety in the presence of external disturbance signals.
