Adaptive Safety with Control Barrier Functions

Abstract

Adaptive Control Lyapunov Functions (aCLFs) were introduced 20 years ago, and provided a Lyapunov-based methodology for stabilizing systems with parameter uncertainty. The goal of this paper is to revisit this classic formulation in the context of safety-critical control. This will motivate a variant of aCLFs in the context of safety: adaptive Control Barrier Functions (aCBFs). Our proposed approach adaptively achieves safety by keeping the system's state within a safe set even in the presence of parametric model uncertainty. We unify aCLFs and aCBFs into a single control methodology for systems with uncertain parameters in the context of a Quadratic Program (QP) based framework. We validate the ability of this unified framework to achieve stability and safety in an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) simulation.
