Summary: This paper proposes an active Fault-Tolerant Control framework to handle actuator faults by using a Fault Estimation module with an adaptive control law. It reconstructs the Loss of Effectiveness of the actuators using a second-order sliding mode observer and manages transient behavior with a bumpless strategy for fault estimation. The proposed approach effectively addresses the flight state tracking problem with robust adaptive model-reference Integral Sliding Mode control law and considers stability and performance of the overall FTC scheme.

Summary: An adaptive fault-tolerant control method integrated with fast terminal sliding mode control technology and neural network is proposed for the attitude system of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. The neural network is used to approximate the uncertain terms in the system. Adaptive laws are developed to estimate the unknown fault coefficient and predict the unknown upper bound of the total disturbance. A fast terminal sliding mode control scheme is developed for the attitude system to improve the convergence rate. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control method are verified through contrast tests.
