A Review on Fault-Tolerant Control for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
The growing number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is considerable in the last decades. Many flight test scenarios, including single and multi-vehicle formation flights, are demonstrated using different control algorithms with different test platforms. In this paper, we present a brief literature review on the development and key issues of current researches in the field of Fault-Tolerant Co...
متن کاملFault Tolerant Control (FTC) Scheme for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
The main focus of this paper is fault-tolerant control systems (FTCSs) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The goals are to develop an Automatic-Flight Control System (AFCS)[8], based on fault detection and isolation (FDI) and a reconfiguration mechanism to accommodate them [7]. This paper describes a design approach of Model Predictive Control (MPC) with a linear internal model to achieve a l...
متن کاملNonlinear Flight Control Techniques for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
In order to meet increasing demands on performance and reliability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, nonlinear and adaptive control techniques are often utilized. These techniques are actively being studied to handle nonlinear aerodynamic and kinematic effects, actuator saturations and rate limitations, modeling uncertainty, and time varying dynamics. This chapter presents an overview of some tools ...
متن کاملPivotal decomposition for reliability analysis of fault tolerant control systems on unmanned aerial vehicles
In this paper, we describe a framework to efficiently assess the reliability of fault tolerant control systems on low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles. The analysis is developed for a system consisting of a fixed number of actuators. In addition, the system includes a scheme to detect failures in individual actuators and, as a consequence, switch between different control algorithms for automatic ...
