Proxy Control Barrier Functions: Integrating Barrier-Based and Lyapunov-Based Safety-Critical Control Design
This work introduces a novel Proxy Control Barrier Function (PCBF) scheme that integrates barrier-based and Lyapunov-based safety-critical control strategies for strict-feedback systems with potentially unknown dynamics. The proposed method employs a modular design procedure, decomposing the original system into a proxy subsystem and a virtual tracking subsystem that are controlled by the control barrier function (CBF)-based and Lyapunov-based controllers, respectively. By integrating these separately designed controllers, the overall system's safety is ensured. Moreover, a new filter-based disturbance observer is utilized to design a PCBF-based safe controller for strict-feedback systems subject to mismatched disturbances. This approach broadens the class of systems to which CBF-based methods can be applied and significantly simplifies CBF construction by requiring only the model of the proxy subsystem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical simulations.
