ONLINE MODEL AND ACTUATOR FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL FOR AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT

摘要

A novel fault-tolerant adaptive control methodology against the actuator faults is proposed. The actuator effectiveness factors （AEFs） are introduced to denote the healthy of actuator, and the unscented Kalman filter （UKF） is employed for online estimation of both the motion states and the AEFs of mobile robot. A square root version of the UKF is introduced to improve efficiency and numerical stability. Using the information from the UKF, the reconfigurable controller is designed automatically based on an enhancement inverse dynamic control （IDC） methodology. The experiment on a 3-DOF omni-directional mobile robot is performed, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated.
