Patching Control Lyapunov Barrier Functions for Temporal Logic Specifications with Bounded Controls

摘要

We propose an abstraction-free framework for controller synthesis for continuous-time dynamical systems subject to Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) specifications and bounded control inputs. The proposed method combines the sequential decomposition of LTL tasks with the use of formally certified Control Lyapunov-Barrier Functions (CLBFs). By formulating local specifications as a sequence of safe-stabilization problems, we systematically approximate and patch the winning sets of the decomposed subtasks. The satisfaction of these local constraints is guaranteed by the offline-computed level sets of the CLBFs. As a result, our framework yields formally verified switching feedback controllers that enable efficient online planning and dynamic re-planning. This ensures robust continuous specification satisfaction in the presence of state perturbations, avoiding the explicit state-space abstractions commonly required in the literature. The approach is validated through numerical simulations and a hardware demonstration on a Crazyflie quadrotor.
