In this article, an actuator fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed for differential-drive mobile robots based on the concept of multiple-model approach. The nonlinear kinematic model of the differential-drive mobile robot is discretized and a bank of extended Kalman filters is designed to detect, isolate, and identify actuator faults. A fault-tolerant controller is then developed based on the detected fault to accommodate its effect on the trajectory-tracking performance of the mobile robot. Extensive experimental results are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed fault-tolerant control approach.

Abstract This paper presents the problem of actuator fault estimation and fault-tolerant control (FTC) of a biological process using Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy formulation. The goal is to ensure the desired outputs tracking even if the time-varying actuator faults occur. We propose to use a proportional multi-integral (PMI) observer to estimate both the time-varying actuator faults and the state of system. The reconstructed faults are used to reconfigure the nominal controller. As a nominal control, we use a fuzzy linear quadratic integral (LQI) law. To ensure the global asymptotic convergence of the PMI observer and to improve the compensation speed of faults, we propose to use the multiple Lyapunov function by introducing a convergence rate. Sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are developed. The obtained results show that, the proposed approach is successfully applied to the problem of actuator fault-tolerant control of a bacterial growth process.

The actuator fault estimation (FE) problem is addressed in this study for the quarter-car active suspension system (ASS) with consideration of the sprung mass variation. Firstly, the ASS is modeled as a parameter-dependent system with actuator fault and external disturbance input. Then, a parameter-dependent FE observer is designed by using the radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to approximate the actuator fault. In addition, the design conditions are turned into a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem which can be easily solved with the aid of LMI toolbox. Finally, simulation and comparison results are given to show the accuracy and rapidity of the proposed FE method, as well as good adaptability against the sprung mass variation. Moreover, a simple FE-based active fault-tolerant control (AFTC) strategy is provided to further demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed FE method.
