In this paper, a backstepping fault-tolerant control based on sliding-mode observer is proposed for the unmanned thrust-vectoring aircraft (UTVA) control. First, the UTVA model with the uncertainty, control surface damage and actuator faults is described, which is divided into fast loop and slow loop. Next, the cascade observers including a high-order SMO and the discontinuous projection adaptive law are proposed to estimate the states with compensating the uncertainty and control surface damage, and the sliding-mode observer is designed to identify actuator faults and estimate fault parameters. Then, the backstepping fault-tolerant control combining the estimation of states and fault parameters is proposed to achieve the global fault-tolerant control, which compensates the uncertainty, control surface damage and actuator faults. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness for UTVA.

Fault-tolerant control is becoming an interesting topic because of its reliability and safety. This paper reports an active fault-tolerant control method for a quadcopter unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to handle actuator faults, disturbances, and input constraints. A robust fault diagnosis based on the H ∞ scheme was designed to estimate the magnitude of a time-varying fault in the presence of disturbances with unknown upper bounds. Once the fault estimation was complete, a fault-tolerant control scheme was proposed for the attitude system, using adaptive sliding mode backstepping control to accommodate the actuator faults, despite actuator saturation limitation and disturbances. The Lyapunov theory was applied to prove the robustness and stability of the closed-loop system under faulty operation. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the fault diagnosis scheme and proposed controller for handling actuator faults.

Fault-tolerant control has drawn attention in recent years owning to its reliability and safe flight during missions. In this article, an active fault-tolerant control method is proposed to control a quadcopter in the presence of actuator faults and disturbances. Firstly, the dynamics of the quadcopter are presented. Secondly, a robust adaptive sliding mode Thau observer is presented to estimate the time-varying magnitudes of actuator faults. Thirdly, a fault-tolerant control scheme based on sliding mode control and reconfiguration technique is designed to maintain the quadcopter at the desired position despite the presence of faults. Unlike previous studies, the proposed method aims to integrate the fault diagnosis and a fault-tolerant control scheme into a single unit with total loss of actuator. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency of the suggested algorithm.
