Safety-Critical Adaptive Impedance Control via Nonsmooth Control Barrier Functions under State and Input Constraints
Safe physical interaction is critical for deploying robotic manipulators in human-robot interaction and contact-rich tasks, where uncertainty, external forces, and actuator limitations can compromise both performance and safety. We propose an online adaptive impedance control framework that enforces joint-state safety while achieving compliant interaction under uncertain dynamics. The approach combines a quadratic-program-based safety filter with a novel composed position-velocity non-smooth control barrier function (NCBF), enabling joint position and velocity constraints to be enforced through a unified relative-degree-one barrier. Unknown dynamics are compensated online using an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system, while actuator torque limits are handled through soft constraints with exact penalty recovery of feasible solutions. A disturbance-observer-enhanced safety mechanism improves robustness against modelling errors and external interaction forces. Using composite Lyapunov analysis, we prove forward invariance of the safe set and the uniform ultimately boundedness of the impedance-tracking error. Simulations on a 7-DOF manipulator with severe parametric uncertainty and external interaction wrenches demonstrate safe constraint satisfaction and robust impedance tracking.
