contents Designing control inputs that satisfy safety requirements is crucial in safety-critical nonlinear control, and this task becomes particularly challenging when full-state measurements are unavailable. In this work, we address the problem of synthesizing safe and stable control for control-affine systems via output feedback (using an observer) while reducing the estimation error of the observer. To achieve this, we adapt control Lyapunov function (CLF) and control barrier function (CBF) techniques to the output feedback setting. Building upon the existing CLF-CBF-QP (Quadratic Program) and CBF-QP frameworks, we formulate two confidence-aware optimization problems and establish the Lipschitz continuity of the obtained solutions. To validate our approach, we conduct simulation studies on two illustrative examples. The simulation studies indicate both improvements in the observer's estimation accuracy and the fulfillment of safety and control requirements.
