Original abstract

Underactuated systems with nontrivial geometry are abundant in practical robotic problems. However, little is known about constructive safety-critical control design in the presence of underactuation. In this work, we provide a constructive framework for synthesizing safe control architectures and control barrier functions for a class of quadrotor-like underactuated systems. By studying the geometry of their underactuation, we characterize when these systems have natural layered architectures useful for safety-critical control design. Using these architectures, we devise a constructive, hierarchical CBF synthesis procedure and provide conditions under which it succeeds.
