Today’s trends in control engineering and robotics are blending gradually into a slightly challenging area, the development of fault tolerant real-time applications. Hence, applications should timely deliver synchronized data-sets, minimize latency in their response and meet their performance specifications in the presence of disturbances and faults. The fault tolerant behavior in mobile robots...

This paper presents a fault tolerant extension to our CANCORBA design. The CAN-CORBA is an environment speci c CORBA we designed for distributed embedded control systems built on the CAN bus. We extend it for fault tolerance by adopting passive and active replication strategies mandated by the OMG fault tolerant CORBA draft standard. To reduce resource demands of these fault tolerance features,...

This paper addresses the problem of robust fault estimation and fault tolerant control of a continuous age structured model of a harvested fishery system. The harvested fish population is represented by TakagiSugeno fuzzy systems, where the effort is used as a control term, the age classes as a states and the quantity of captured fish per unit of effort as a measured output. Under some biologic...

There is a need for better integration of the fault tolerant and the control designs for safety critical systems such as aircraft. The dependability of current designs is assessed primarily with measures of the interconnection of fault tolerant components: the reliability function and the mean time to failure. These measures do not directly take into account the interaction of the fault toleran...

It is shown that the “intelligent” controllers which are associated to the recently introduced model-free control synthesis may be easily implemented on cheap and small programmable devices. Several successful numerical experiments are presented with a special emphasis on fault tolerant control. Keywords— Model-free control, intelligent PID controllers, small programmable devices, estimation, i...

This paper discusses the fault tolerant control problem for discrete event systems modeled by Petri nets. The fault is represented by the unobservable transitions. Firstly, an observer-based fault diagnosis method is proposed to estimate the marking with unknown initial markings and meanwhile, to diagnose the faulty behavior. Then, an adaptive fault tolerant controller is designed to maintain t...

Fault tolerant control for uncertain systems with time varying state-delay is studied in this paper. Based on sliding mode controller design, a fault tolerant control method is proposed. By means of the feasibility of some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), delay dependent sufficient condition is derived for the existence of a linear sliding surface which guarantees quadratic stability of the r...

Integral Sliding Mode Fault Tolerant Control Schemes with Control Allocation Mirza Tariq Hamayun The key attribute of a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) system is to maintain overall system stability and acceptable performance in the face of faults and failures within the system. In this thesis new integral sliding mode (ISM) control allocation schemes for FTC are proposed, which have the potential...
