Uniting Control Lyapunov and Control Barrier Functions

In this paper, we propose a nonlinear control design for solving the problem of stabilization with guaranteed safety. The design is based on the merging of a Control Lyapunov Function and a Control Barrier Function. The proposed control method allows us to combine the design of a stabilizer based on CLF and the design of safety control based on CBF. The efficacy of the proposed approach is shown in the simulation results.
