In this paper, a distributed adaptive fault-tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) scheme is developed for flying multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with consideration of actuator and sensor faults. The communication network is an undirected, fixed topology and only a subset of UAVs has access to the common reference. By using a sliding-mode observer, the common reference is estimated by each UAV. The lumped uncertainties including external disturbances, actuator and sensor faults are estimated by an adaptive mechanism. On the basis of the estimated reference and lumped uncertainties, dynamic surface control technique is utilized to eliminate the computational burden inherent in the traditional backstepping control architecture. The highlight is that external disturbances, actuator and sensor faults are considered in the distributed control scheme for multi-UAVs simultaneously. By using graph theory and Lyapunov-based method, it is proved that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded. Furthermore, simulation results are exhibited to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, a prescribed performance-based distributed neural adaptive fault-tolerant cooperative control (FTCC) scheme is proposed for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs). A distributed sliding-mode observer (SMO) technique is first utilized to estimate the leader UAV’s reference. Then, by transforming the tracking errors of follower UAVs with respect to the estimated references into a new set, a distributed neural adaptive FTCC protocol is developed based on the combination of dynamic surface control (DSC) and minimal learning parameters of neural network (MLPNN). Moreover, auxiliary dynamic systems are exploited to deal with input saturation. Furthermore, the proposed control scheme can guarantee that all signals of the closed-loop system are bounded, and tracking errors of follower UAVs with respect to the estimated references are confined within the prescribed bounds. Finally, comparative simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed neural adaptive FTCC scheme.

The Stability

This paper presents an active fault-tolerant control strategy for quadrotor helicopters to simultaneously accommodate sensor faults and external disturbances. Unlike most of the existing fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control schemes for quadrotor helicopters, the proposed fault diagnosis scheme is able to estimate sensor faults while eliminating the effect of external disturbances. Moreover, the proposed fault-tolerant control scheme is capable to eliminate the adverse effect of external disturbances as well by designing a disturbance observer to effectively estimate the unknown external disturbances and integrating with the designed integral sliding-mode controller. In this case, the continuous operation of the quadrotor helicopter is ensured while avoiding the unexpected control chattering. In addition, the stability of the closed-loop system is theoretically proved. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed scheme are validated and demonstrated through comparative numerical simulations of the quadrotor helicopter under different faulty and uncertain scenarios.

Over Time

The paper addresses a problem of efficiently controlling an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), where its typical underactuated model is considered. Due to critical uncertainties and nonlinearities in the system caused by unavoidable external disturbances such as ocean currents when it operates, it is paramount to robustly maintain motions of the vehicle over time as expected. Therefore, it is proposed to employ the hierarchical sliding mode control technique to design the closed-loop control scheme for the device. However, exactly determining parameters of the AUV control system is impractical since its nonlinearities and external disturbances can vary those parameters over time. Thus, it is proposed to exploit neural networks to develop an adaptive learning mechanism that allows the system to learn its parameters adaptively. More importantly, stability of the AUV system controlled by the proposed approach is theoretically proved to be guaranteed by the use of the Lyapunov theory. Effectiveness of the proposed control scheme was verified by the experiments implemented in a synthetic environment, where the obtained results are highly promising.

Simulation Results

A fault tolerant control (FTC) scheme based on adaptive sliding mode control technique is proposed for manipulator with actuator fault. Firstly, the dynamic model of manipulator is introduced and its actuator faulty model is established. Secondly, a fault tolerant controller is designed, in which both the parameters of actuator fault and external disturbance are estimated and updated by online adaptive technology. Finally, taking a two-joint manipulator as example, simulation results show that the proposed fault tolerant control scheme is effective in tolerating actuator fault; meanwhile it has strong robustness for external disturbance.

Composite Control Scheme

External perturbations and actuator faults are two practical and significant issues that deserve designers' considerations when synthesizing the controllers for spacecraft rendezvous. A composite robust fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme that does not require the fault information is proposed in this paper for limited-thrust rendezvous in near-circular orbits. Within the control scheme, a reliable integral sliding mode (ISM) auxiliary controller and a modified guaranteed cost FTC are, respectively, developed to attenuate the external disturbances and to stabilize the nominal rendezvous system with actuator faults. Comparisons with previous works as well as a more practical and challenging simulation example are presented to verify the advantages of this composite control scheme.

And Performance

The paper describes the design of a fault-tolerant control scheme for an uncertain model of a hypersonic reentry vehicle subject to actuator faults. In order to improve superior transient performances for state tracking, the proposed method relies on a back-stepping sliding mode controller combined with an adaptive disturbance observer and a reference vector generator. This structure allows for a faster response and reduces the overshoots compared to linear conventional disturbance observers based sliding mode controller. Robust stability and performance guarantees of the overall closed-loop system are obtained using Lyapunov theory. Finally, numerical simulations results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

In this paper, the adaptive fault-tolerant formation tracking control problem for a set of heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) systems with actuator loss of effectiveness faults is investigated. The cooperative fault-tolerant formation control strategy for UAV and UGV collaborative systems is classified into the altitude consensus control scheme for follower UAVs and the position cooperative formation control scheme for all followers. The altitude consensus control algorithm is designed by utilizing backstepping control technique to drive all UAVs to a desired predefined height. Then, based on synchronization formation error information, the position cooperative formation control algorithm is proposed for all followers to reach the expected position and perform the desired formation configuration. The adaptive fault estimation term is adopted in the designed fault-tolerant formation control algorithm to compensate for the actuator loss of effectiveness fault. Finally, a simulation example is proposed to reveal the validity of the designed cooperative formation tracking control scheme.
