Fault Detection and Control Systems

In this paper, an adaptive neural fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed for the three degrees of freedom model helicopter, subject to system uncertainties, unknown external disturbances, and actuator faults. To tackle system uncertainty and nonlinear actuator faults, a neural network disturbance observer is developed based on the radial basis function neural network. The unknown external disturbance and the unknown neural network approximation errors are treated as a compound disturbance that is estimated by another nonlinear disturbance observer. A disturbance observer-based adaptive neural fault-tolerant control scheme is then developed to track the desired system output in the presence of system uncertainty, external disturbance, and actuator faults. The stability of the whole closed-loop system is analyzed using the Lyapunov method, which guarantees the convergence of all closed-loop signals. Finally, the simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the new control design techniques.
