This article studies the finite-time tracking control problem for the single-link flexible-joint robot system with actuator failures and proposes an adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant control strategy. More precisely, the issue of "explosion of complexity" is successfully solved by incorporating the command filtering technology and the backstepping method. The unknown nonlinearities are identified with the help of the fuzzy logic system. An event-triggered mechanism with the relative threshold strategy is exploited to save communication resources. Furthermore, the proposed control design can guarantee that the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of origin within a finite time by taking full advantage of the finite-time stability theory. Finally, the simulation example is presented to further verify the validity of the proposed control method.
