contents In this paper, we study a safe control design for dynamical systems in the presence of uncertainty in a dynamical environment. The worst-case error approach is considered to formulate robust Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) in an optimization-based control synthesis framework. It is first shown that environmentally robust CBF formulations result in second-order cone programs (SOCPs). Then, a novel scheme is presented to formulate robust CBFs which takes the nominally safe control as its desired control input in optimization-based control design and then tries to minimally modify it whenever the robust CBF constraint is violated. This proposed scheme leads to quadratic programs (QPs) which can be easily solved. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated on an adaptive cruise control example.
