  • The safety and security of robotic systems are paramount when navigating around a hostile target. This paper addresses the problem of circumnavigating an unknown target by a unicycle robot while ensuring it maintains a desired safe distance and remains within the sensing region around the target throughout its motion. The proposed control design methodology is based on the construction of a joint Lyapunov function that incorporates: (i) a quadratic potential function characterizing the desired target-circumnavigation objective, and (ii) a barrier Lyapunov function-based potential term to enforce safety and sensing constraints on the robot's motion. A notable feature of the proposed control design is its reliance exclusively on local range measurements between the robot and the target, realized using a dynamic output feedback controller that treats the range as the only observable output for feedback. Using the Lyapunov stability theory, we show that the desired equilibrium of the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and the prescribed safety and security constraints are met under the proposed controllers. We also obtain restrictive bounds on the post-design signals and provide both simulation and experimental results to validate the theoretical contributions.
