Abstract
In this paper, a fault-tolerant control method is proposed for a hexacopter under uncertainties. The proposed method is based on adaptive-sliding-mode control (ASMC) and a control allocation scheme. First, a mathematical model of the hexacopter is employed with model uncertainties. Next, the control allocation strategy is combined with ASMC to handle actuator faults, which can distribute the virtual control signal to redundant actuators. A modified fault-tolerant control is proposed to overcome this virtual input saturation. Finally, the system stability is validated using the Lyapunov theory. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of normal ASMC. The simulation results show that the suggested strategy can realize quicker compensation under faulty conditions.
