contents Collision avoidance is a problem largely studied in robotics, particularly in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. Among the main challenges in this area are hardware limitations, the need for rapid response, and the uncertainty associated with obstacle detection. Artificial potential functions (APOFs) are a prominent method to address these challenges. However, existing solutions lack assurances regarding closed-loop stability and may result in chattering effects. Motivated by this, we propose a control method for static obstacle avoidance based on multiple artificial potential functions (MAPOFs). We derive tuning conditions on the control parameters that ensure the stability of the final position. The stability proof is established by analyzing the closed-loop system using tools from hybrid systems theory. Furthermore, we validate the performance of the MAPOF control through simulations, showcasing its effectiveness in avoiding static obstacles.
