In this thesis work, a novel algorithmic fault tolerant control system architecture against actuator failures is developed. The method is based on injection of perturbations on the controlled states that are connected to healthy actuators, in order to compensate for the failed components and maintain overall stabilization of the system. An adaptive state estimator structure is used for detection of faults and fault mitigation perturbations are generated from a singularly perturbed dynamic system, which is a part of the control architecture. The proposed method is an algorithmic fault tolerant control architecture in a sense that the fault tolerance and reliability is achieved algorithmically and without using any redundant physical components. For the theoretical analysis of the developed control system, the problem is formulated as a nonlinear control problem for interconnected systems and a theorem is structured that includes the assumptions, conditions and stability properties of the proposed architecture. Resultant algorithm can be applied to wide variety of problems including multi-input-multi-output unstable nonlinear systems, provided that the system under consideration is Lipschitz continuous and certain bound conditions are satisfied. Design methodology is explained through theoretical analyses and analytically tractable numerical examples. Applications on more complex systems and limitations of the proposed fault tolerant control system architecture are demonstrated on joint failures of robotic manipulators and propeller loss of quadrotors cases through theoretical analyses and simulation results.

A Control System Architecture for Control of Non-Affine in Control, Open-Loop Unstable Underactuated Systems Marangoz, Alp; Kutay, Ali Türker (2017-07-25) In this paper, a control system architecture for control of non-affine in control, open-loop unstable underactuated system is discussed. Passivization of the unactuated (internal) system dynamics achieved through perturbation of trajectories of the actuated states, which are calculated through adaptive dynamic inversion technique, based on Tikhonov's theorem. Performance of the controller is shown through simulation of two open-loop unstable and locally uncontrollable example problems.
A dependable computing application Güngör, Uğur; Güran, Hasan Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis focuses on fault tolerance which is kind of dependable computing implementation. It deals with the advantages of fault tolerance techniques on Single Event Upsets (SEU) occurred in a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Two fault tolerant methods are applied to floating point multiplier. Most common SEU mitigation method is Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR). So, two fault tolerance methods, which use TMR, are tested. There are three printed circuit boards (PCBs) and one user interface software in...
Computation of fault-tolerant supervisors for discrete event systems ? Sülek, Ayşe Nur; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2013-10-21) Fault-tolerance addresses the problem of operating a system even in case of faults. In this paper, we study fault-tolerance in the supervisory control framework for discrete event systems (DES). We consider DES, where certain events might no longer be possible in case a fault happens. In this setting, we first identify necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a supervisor that realizes a given behavioral specification both in the non-faulty and in the faulty case. We further show that it is ...
Fault tolerant deployment, search, and task xooperatıve control of robot/sensor networks Akın, Berkant; Erkmen, İsmet; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis focuses on developing of a distributed, efficient and fault tolerant multiresolutional architecture for sensor networks. For demonstrative purpose, a powerful simulation environment using 3D environment model has been developed. The robot network is composed of autonomous robots capable of working cooperatively equipped with single typed simple sensor. The developed layered control architecture is hybrid including both subsumption and motor schema control strategies. In this proposed control met...
A new fault-tolerant real-time ethernet protocol: design and evaluation Atik, Emre; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-2-22) This thesis is motivated by the communication requirements of contemporary realtime and embedded applications. These requirements are high-bandwidth, fault tolerance, determinism that allows schedulability and bounded latency, broadcast capability, accommodating sporadic traffic efficiently together with periodic traffic, and finally low cost, COTS interface hardware. To this end, we propose a novel protocol, Shared Queue based Dynamic Slot Reservation (SQDSR) complete with message format, medium access and...
