Abstract:

In this paper, a fault-tolerant control system based on back-stepping integral sliding mode controller (BISMC) is designed and analyzed for both nonlinear translational and rotational subsystems of the quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The novelty of this paper is about combination of a classic controller with a repetitive algorithm to reduce the response time to actuator faults and have better tracking performance. The actuator fault is defined based on the loss of effectiveness and bias fault. Next, the iterative learning control algorithm (ILCA) is used to compensate for the unknown fault input according to previous recorded experiences. In the normal condition (without actuators fault), BISMC can force the actual trajectories toward the desired commands and reduce chattering about control signals, and in the presence of the actuators fault or external disturbances, the mentioned learning algorithm can incline the accuracy of the tracking performance and compensate for the occurred error. The Lyapunov theory illustrates that the proposed control strategy can stabilize the system despite the actuators’ fault and external disturbances. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in comparison with another method.
