Control Barrier Functions Solved with Hierarchical Quadratic Programming for Safe Physical Human-Robot Interaction

Hierarchical quadratic programming organizes contact-performance and safety tasks at different priorities. Experiments on a redundant manipulator explore the trade-offs. The priority and relaxation policy must be examined because feasibility of the optimization is not evidence that every safety constraint remains satisfied.
