SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RISK-BOUNDED CONTROL BARRIER FUNCTIONS

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to implementing risk-bounded control barrier functions. In one embodiment, a method includes estimating a state of a vehicle; planning a trajectory based on the state of the vehicle; determining a nominal control input based on the trajectory; applying a risk-bounded control barrier function to determine a control input; and applying the control input to the vehicle.
