| contents | Industrial control applications require high performance under strict constraints. Control barrier functions (CBFs) provide principled safety mechanisms, but constructing CBF-based safety filters for large-scale systems is challenging. We introduce set-based CBFs for linear systems with convex constraints by defining the barrier via the Minkowski functional of a control invariant set. This invariant set can be obtained from scalable computations, including reachability analysis and model predictive control (MPC). The approach yields tunable safety filters with dampened intervention and asymptotic stability of the set of safe states. We derive reformulations embedding set-based CBF constraints into convex optimization for common set representations and present learning-based approximations reducing runtime while preserving safety. We demonstrate the approach through simulations on a high-dimensional system and a motion control task, and validate the method experimentally on an electric drive with short sampling times. |
