contents Dynamic obstacle avoidance (DOA) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires fast reaction under limited onboard resources. We introduce the distributionally robust acceleration control barrier function (DR-ACBF) as an efficient collision avoidance method maintaining safety regions. The method constructs a second-order control barrier function as linear half-space constraints on commanded acceleration. Latency, actuator limits, and obstacle accelerations are handled through an effective clearance that considers dynamics and delay. Uncertainty is mitigated using Cantelli tightening with per-obstacle risk. A DR-conditional value at risk (DR-CVaR)based early trigger expands margins near violations to improve DOA. Real-time execution is ensured via constant-time Gauss-Southwell projections. Simulation studies achieve similar avoidance performance at substantially lower computational effort than state-of-the-art baseline approaches. Experiments with Crazyflie drones demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
