In this article, an actuator fault-tolerant control scheme is proposed for differential-drive mobile robots based on the concept of multiple-model approach. The nonlinear kinematic model of the differential-drive mobile robot is discretized and a bank of extended Kalman filters is designed to detect, isolate, and identify actuator faults. A fault-tolerant controller is then developed based on the detected fault to accommodate its effect on the trajectory-tracking performance of the mobile robot. Extensive experimental results are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed faulttolerant control approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
