Introduction to Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) and energy-based CBFs, by F. Califano

This colloquium, held by Assistant Prof. Federico Califano at Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) group (@UTwenteRaM), University of Twente, contains an introduction to Control Barrier Functions (CBFs), and a brief look at a novel class of CBFs which preserve passivity of the controlled system.

Di una chiarezza mostruosa. Mi ha salvato da un argomento d'esame abbastanza ostico. La ringrazio un sacco!

Thanks for your explanation.
Very clear.

Hi!
Im from Mexico, Im trying to understand a litle about the basics of CBFs, do you know where can I find information about how to program cbf? or examples?

I suggest you the excellent survey paper "Control Barrier Functions: Theory and Applications" by Aaron Ames et al. and references therein
(arxiv.org/abs/1903.11199), although honestly also AI tools like gpt or perplexity.ai are impressive in the way they give an overview of the topic at the level of abstraction you desire.
