A robot manipulator is a multi-degree-of-freedom and nonlinear system that is used in various applications, including the medical area and automotive industries. Uncertain conditions in which a robot manipulator operates, as well as its nonlinearities, represent challenges for fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control (FDC) that are addressed through the proposed FDC technique. A machine-learning-based neural adaptive, high-order, variable structure observer for fault diagnosis (FD) and adaptive, modern, fuzzy, backstepping, variable structure control for use in a fault-tolerant control (FC) algorithm, are proposed in this paper. In the first stage, a variable structure observer is proposed as an FD technique for the robot manipulator. The chattering phenomenon associated with the variable structure observer(VSO) is solved using a high-order variable structure observer. Then, the dynamic behavior estimation performance in the high-order variable structure observer is improved by incorporating a neural network algorithm in the FD pipeline. This adaptive technique is also effective in improving the robustness of the fault signal estimation. Moreover, support vector machines (SVMs) that can derive adaptive threshold values are used to categorize faults. To design an effective fault-tolerant controller (FC), an adaptive modern fuzzy backstepping variable structure controller is used in this study. First, a new variable structure controller is designed. Next, to increase robustness and reduce high-frequency oscillations in uncertain conditions, a backstepping algorithm is used in parallel with the variable structure controller to design the backstepping variable structure controller. To design an effective hybrid controller, a fuzzy algorithm is integrated into the backstepping variable structure controller to create a fuzzy backstepping variable structure controller. Then, to improve the robustness and reliability of the FC, a neural adaptive. high-order. variable structure observer is applied to the fuzzy backstepping variable structure controller to design a modern fuzzy backstepping variable structure controller. An adaptive algorithm is used to fine-tune the variable structure coefficients and reduce the effect of faults on the robot manipulator. The effectiveness of the selected algorithm is validated using a PUMA robot manipulator. The neural adaptive. high-order variable structure observer improves the average performance for the identification of various faults by about 27% and 29.2%, compared with the neural high-order variable structure observer and variable structure observer, respectively.

A robust fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control (FTC) system for uncertain robot manipulators without joint velocity measurement is presented. The actuator faults and robot manipulator component faults are considered. The proposed scheme is designed via an active fault-tolerant control strategy by combining a fault diagnosis scheme based on a super-twisting third-order sliding mode (STW-TOSM) observer with a robust super-twisting second-order sliding mode (STW-SOSM) controller. Compared to the existing FTC methods, the proposed FTC method can accommodate not only faults but also uncertainties, and it does not require a velocity measurement. In addition, because the proposed scheme is designed based on the high-order sliding mode (HOSM) observer/controller strategy, it exhibits fast convergence, high accuracy, and less chattering. Finally, computer simulation results for a PUMA560 robot are obtained to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Bearings are complex components with onlinear behavior that are used to mitigate the effects of inertia. These components are used in various systems, including motors. Data analysis and condition monitoring of the systems are important methods for bearing fault diagnosis. Therefore, a deep learning-based adaptive neural-fuzzy structure technique via a support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model is presented in this study. The proposed scheme has three main steps. First, the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre is introduced to approximate the vibration signal under normal conditions and extract the state-space equation. After signal modeling, an adaptive neural-fuzzy structure observer is designed using a combination of high-order variable structure techniques, the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model, and adaptive neural-fuzzy inference mechanism for normal and abnormal signal estimation. The adaptive neural-fuzzy structure observer is the main part of this work because, based on the difference between signal estimation accuracy, it can be used to identify faults in the bearings. Next, the residual signals are generated, and the signal conditions are detected and identified using a convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed deep learning-based adaptive neural-fuzzy structure technique by support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model was analyzed using the Case Western Reverse University (CWRU) bearing vibration dataset. The proposed scheme is compared to five state-of-the-art techniques. The proposed algorithm improved the average pattern recognition and crack size identification accuracy by 1.99%, 3.84%, 15.75%, 5.87%, 30.14%, and 35.29% compared to the combination of the high-order variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and CNN, the combination of the variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and CNN, the combination of RAW signal and CNN, the combination of the adaptive neural-fuzzy structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and support vector machine (SVM), the combination of the high-order variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and SVM, and the combination of the variable structure technique with the support vector autoregressive-Laguerre model and SVM, respectively.

Taking advantage of the high reliability, multiphase permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), such as five-phase PMSM and six-phase PMSM, are widely used in fault-tolerant control applications. And one of the important fault-tolerant control problems is fault diagnosis. In most existing literatures, the fault diagnosis problem focuses on the three-phase PMSM. In this paper, compared to the most existing fault diagnosis approaches, a fault diagnosis method for Interturn short circuit (ITSC) fault of five-phase PMSM based on the trust region algorithm is presented. This paper has two contributions. (1) Analyzing the physical parameters of the motor, such as resistances and inductances, a novel mathematic model for ITSC fault of five-phase PMSM is established. (2) Introducing an object function related to the Interturn short circuit ratio, the fault parameters identification problem is reformulated as the extreme seeking problem. A trust region algorithm based parameter estimation method is proposed for tracking the actual Interturn short circuit ratio. The simulation and experimental results have validated the effectiveness of the proposed parameter estimation method.
