Time-varying soft-maximum barrier functions for safety in unmapped and dynamic environments

A Safari, JB Hoagg - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.01458, 2024 - arxiv.org
We present a closed-form optimal feedback control method that ensures safety in an a prior
unknown and potentially dynamic environment. This article considers the scenario where …
