Fault tolerant control design for polytopic uncertain LPV systems: application to a quadrotor

This paper presents a Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) design for polytopic uncertain Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) systems, applied to an aerospace application: a quadrotor. Depending on the information available about the fault, the FTC strategy could be passive FTC, active FTC without controller reconfiguration or active FTC with controller reconfiguration. The FTC strategy is designed taking into account the robust LPV polytopic framework. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by its application to a quadrotor.Peer Reviewe
