Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of safe and robust stabilization for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. The key idea is to employ the disturbance observer (DOB) to a nominal safety-critical controller designed for the control Lyapunov-barrier function (CLBF). The DOB estimates and compensates the lumped disturbance that represents all the effect of model uncertainty and disturbance to the system approximately but as accurately as possible. As a result, only a small perturbation remains in the control loop, which can be dealt with as long as the nominal closed-loop system is input-to-state safe (ISSf) in a sense. To ensure the ISSf property without restriction on the CLBF, we propose a modified version of the Sontag's universal formula as a nominal controller. This prelim-inary study verifies the validity of the proposed approach for 2nd-order nonlinear systems, but with mathematical analysis and simulations for the inverted pendulum on a cart.
