Non-Parametric Fault Identification for Space Rovers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous fault detection is prerequisite for autonomous system repair which is of great value for spacecraft where human intervention is expensive, slow, unreliable, and occasionally impossible. We present a method which successfully achieves autonomous fault detection in simulation. The approach uses a nonparametric estimate of the system state updated based upon sensor measurements. Our system does state estimation using a decision-theoretic generalization of particle filters which takes into account the difference in utility of fault detection vs. fault nondetection.

Efficient Monitoring for Planetary Rovers
Planetary rovers operate in environments where human intervention is expensive, slow, unreliable, or impossible. It is therefore essential to monitor the behavior of these robots so that contingencies may be addressed before they result in catastrophic failures. This monitoring needs to be efficient since there is limited computational power available on rovers. We propose an efficient particle...
متن کاملAn Unknown Input Observer for Fault Detection Based on Sliding Mode Observer in Electrical Steering Assist Systems
Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...
متن کاملImproving Fault Isolation and Identification for Hybrid Systems with Hybrid Possible Conflicts
Model-based fault isolation and identification in hybrid systems is computationally expensive or even unfeasible for complex systems due to the presence of uncertainty concerning the actual state, and also due to the presence of both discrete and parametric faults coupled with changing modes in the system. In this work we improve fault isolation and identification performance for hybrid systems...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Non-Parametric Fault Identification
We present an algorithm called NoPse (Non Parametric State Estimation) for intelligent fault detection. This is work in progress. The goal was to develop a state estimation system for a rover that would take into account discrete failure modes that produce discontinuities in the behavior of the system. In the rest of the extended abstract we first describe and motivate the problem at hand. Then...
متن کاملNon-parametric statistical fault localization
Fault localization is a major activity in program debugging. To automate this time-consuming task, many existing fault-localization techniques compare passed executions and failed executions, and suggest suspicious program elements, such as predicates or statements, to facilitate the identification of faults. To do that, these techniques propose statistical models and use hypothesis testing met...
