Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the problem of fault-tolerant control (FTC) for redundant multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) subject to actuators failures. A fuzzy logic approach is used to solve the constrained control allocation problem by adjusting the components of the multiplexing vector once a motor failure is detected. This fuzzy logic allocation problem is tuned using the Bacterial Foraging Algorithm (BFA), a powerful bio-inspired optimisation technique. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated through real experimental application to a hexarotor UAV, where up to two motors failures are considered.
