We develop a novel adaptation-based technique for safe control design in the presence of multiple control barrier function (CBF) constraints. Specifically, we introduce an approach for synthesizing any number of candidate CBFs into one consolidated CBF candidate, and propose a parameter adaptation law for the weights of its constituents such that the controllable dynamics of the consolidated CBF are non-vanishing. We then prove that the use of our adaptation law serves to certify the consolidated CBF candidate as valid for a class of nonlinear, control-affine, multi-agent systems, which permits its use in a quadratic program based control law. We highlight the success of our approach in simulation on a multi-robot goal-reaching problem in a crowded warehouse environment, and further demonstrate its efficacy experimentally in the laboratory via AION ground rovers operating amongst other vehicles behaving both aggressively and conservatively.
