Source overview

Discrete-time barrier formulations turn safety conditions into nonlinear or quadratically constrained optimization problems. The stated application is three-dimensional biped navigation with moving obstacles and time-varying constraints.

Use and review

Guarantees are conditional on the stated dynamics, sensing and constraint assumptions. Abstract/source screening does not validate a complete robot installation or an ISO13849 safety function.
