Abstract
We propose a real-time control strategy that combines self-triggered control with Control Lyapunov Functions (CLF) and Control Barrier Functions (CBF). Similar to related works proposing CLF-CBF-based controllers, the computation of the controller is achieved by solving a Quadratic Program (QP). However, we propose a Zeroth-Order Hold (ZOH) implementation of the controller that overcomes the main limitations of traditional approaches based on periodic controllers, i.e., unnecessary controller updates and potential violations of the safety constraints. Central to our approach is the novel notion of safe period, which enforces a strong safety guarantee for implementing ZOH control. In addition, we prove that the system does not exhibit a Zeno behavior as it approaches the desired equilibrium.
