This paper extends control barrier functions (CBFs) to high order (HOCBFs) that can be used for relative degree constraints. The proposed HOCBFs are more general than recently (exponential) HOCBFs. We introduce (HOBFs), and show their satisfaction of Lyapunov-like conditions implies the forward invariance intersection a series sets. then HOCBF, any input satisfies HOCBF constraint renders sets invariant. formulate optimal problems with constraints given by Lyapunov (CLF), provide promising...

We approach the problem of stabilizing a dynamical system while optimizing cost and satisfying safety constraints control limitations. For (nonlinear) affine systems quadratic costs, it has been shown that barrier functions (CBFs) guaranteeing Lyapunov (CLFs) enforcing convergence can be used to (conservatively) reduce optimal sequence programs (QPs). Existing works in this category have two main First, with one exception, they are based on assumption relative degree respect function...

It has been shown that optimizing quadratic costs while stabilizing affine control systems to desired (sets of) states subject state and constraints can be reduced a sequence of programs (QPs) by using barrier functions (CBFs) Lyapunov (CLFs). In this article, we introduce adaptive CBFs (aCBFs) accommodate time-varying bounds noise in the system dynamics also guaranteeing feasibility QPs if original cost optimization problem itself is feasible, which challenging current approaches.

Many safety-critical applications of neural networks, such as robotic control, require safety guarantees. This article introduces a method for ensuring the learned models control using differentiable barrier functions (dCBFs). dCBFs are end-to-end trainable and guarantee safety. They improve over classical (CBFs), which usually overly conservative. Our dCBF solution relaxes CBF definitions by: 1) environmental dependencies; 2) embedding them into quadratic programs. These novel layers called...

Abstract To test the hypothesis that particle composition has a stronger influence on community structure of particle‐attached than free‐living bacteria, elemental (C/N, δ 13 C, and 15 N) chemical particles size‐fractionated bacterial were examined along density gradient from Pearl River to open basin in South China Sea. Microbial communities collected at three size fractions 0.2–0.8, 0.8–3, >3 µm, was analyzed using high‐throughput sequencing 16S rRNA gene (V3–V4 regions). Multivariate...

Growing imperative for intelligent transformation of electro-ionic actuators in soft robotics has necessitated self-perception accurately mapping their nonlinear dynamic responses. Despite the promise integrating crack-based strain sensors such a purpose, significant challenges remain controlling crack propagation to prevent induction through-cracks, resulting lower sensitivity, linearity, and poor detection limits. Herein, we propose hierarchical synergistic enhancement structure by...
