Active Adaptive Composite Fault Tolerant Controller Design For Nonlinear Systems

Abstract

Abstract It can be seen from the public opinion monitoring that there are many cases of death and injury caused by quality problems of mechanical products, which poses a serious threat to people’s lives. Therefore, it is particularly important to analyze the reliability of mechanical products. This study focuses on active adaptive composite fault tolerant controller (ACFTC) design for nonlinear system with actuator fault. Firstly, a novel iterative learning observer (ILO) is proposed to estimate the early potential fault. And then, the ACFTC approach is proposed in order to obtain desired performance in the faulty case based on the fault estimation information from ILO. Finally, simulation of the flexible joint robot system verifies the validity and applicability of the algorithm.
