Low-Power Fault-Tolerant Control for Nonideal High-Order Fully Actuated Systems

This article presents a novel observer-based fault-tolerant controller framework for a class of nonideal time-varying high-order fully actuated systems (HOFASs). The HOFAS theory is an emerging nonlinear dynamical system theory, which can yield global stability. In order to improve the ability of HOFAS theory to handle parameter uncertainties, actuator faults, and measurement noises, a nonlinear extended state observer and low-power fully actuated controller framework is established in this article. Particularly, the linear framework conforms to the generalized separation principle and highlights the advantages of HOFAS parametric design. Moreover, the work takes into account fault tolerance and noise suppression in engineering applications, reducing the dependence of HOFAS theory on model accuracy. The uniformly bounded stability and noise suppression performance are also proved theoretically and illustrated experimentally.
