Rectified Control Barrier Functions for High-Order Safety Constraints
This paper presents a novel approach for synthesizing control barrier functions (CBFs) from high relative degree safety constraints: Rectified CBFs (ReCBFs). We begin by discussing the limitations of existing High-Order CBF approaches and how these can be overcome by incorporating an activation function into the CBF construction. We then provide a comparative analysis of our approach with related methods, such as CBF backstepping. Our results are presented first for safety constraints with relative degree two, then for mixed-input relative degree constraints, and finally for higher relative degrees. The theoretical developments are illustrated through simple running examples and an aircraft control problem.
