Abstract

In this chapter, we consider three applications of the use of CBFs and HOCBFs to problems that involve safety-critical tasks commonly encountered in robotics. In Sect. 10.1, we look at typical ground robot tasks, in which obstacle avoidance is crucial. In Sect. 10.2, we consider autonomous driving, where a vehicle is required to satisfy complex specifications imposed by traffic laws and expectations regarding reasonable driving behavior. Finally, in Sect. 10.3, we consider safe navigation tasks for an aerial vehicle.
