“…Their design allows for power supply via an umbilical cable, affording greater flexibility in the number of thrusters utilized compared to other marine platforms and offering the substantial benefit of ease in recovery in the event of a malfunction. Consequently, there has been a vigorous pursuit of research in fault tolerance using remaining thrusters in cases of individual thruster failures [ 23 , 39 , 40 ].…”

Among unmanned surface vehicle (USV) components, underwater thrusters are pivotal in their mission execution integrity. Yet, these thrusters directly interact with marine environments, making them perpetually susceptible to malfunctions. To diagnose thruster faults, a non-invasive and cost-effective vibration-based methodology that does not require altering existing systems is employed. However, the vibration data collected within the hull is influenced by propeller-fluid interactions, hull damping, and structural resonant frequencies, resulting in noise and unpredictability. Furthermore, to differentiate faults not only at fixed rotational speeds but also over the entire range of a thruster’s rotational speeds, traditional frequency analysis based on the Fourier transform cannot be utilized. Hence, Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), known for attributions encapsulating physical characteristics in both time-frequency domain nuances, was applied to address these complications and transform vibration data into a scalogram. CWT results are diagnosed using a Vision Transformer (ViT) classifier known for its global context awareness in image processing. The effectiveness of this diagnosis approach was verified through experiments using a USV designed for field experiments. Seven cases with different fault types and severity were diagnosed and yielded average accuracy of 0.9855 and 0.9908 at different vibration points, respectively.

Structural analysis, a model-based fault diagnosis approach, has been extensively highlighted since it does not depend on an exact analytical system model. The structural analysis approach focuses on obtaining the required information for fault detection and fault-tolerant control from the structural model of the control system. Diagnosability is a design attribute that indicates the fault diagnosis capabilities. Diagnosability design not only guarantees that the structure of the control system gives adequate fault information but also that the control system achieves the fault diagnosis with the least cost and the most excellent efficiency. In this paper, in combination with the research progress of structural analysis, the study first designs the structural diagnosability model of the control system based on structural analysis; secondly, the essential techniques of diagnosability evaluation and diagnosability design based on structural analysis are analyzed and summarized, and the diagnosability index system based on structural analysis is designed based on the structural detectability and structural isolation; this lays the foundation for the development of the diagnosability; lastly, the study summarizes the problems of diagnosability research based on structural analysis and the future development direction.

“…For instance, a switching-mode hidden Markov model was used to describe the faulty system, and a particle filter was adopted to isolate the faults [ 18 ]; the Fossen model was used to describe the ODIN AUV, and a dedicated bank of scalar filters based on the nonlinear geometric approach was built to simultaneously detect and isolate the actuator faults [ 19 ]. Some other research findings adopted the sliding-mode approach [ 20 ], structural analysis [ 21 ], improved Gaussian particle filtering [ 22 ], adaptive-threshold observing [ 23 ], generalized-likelihood-ratio comparison [ 24 ], and Livingstone 2 diagnosis engine [ 25 ]. Performance of the model-based FD is restricted by the model accuracy, which relies on expert knowledge.…”

To ensure the mission implementation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), faults occurring on actuators should be detected and located promptly; therefore, reliable control strategies and inputs can be effectively provided. In this paper, faults occurring on the propulsion and attitude control systems of a torpedo-shaped AUV are analyzed and located while fault features may induce confusions for conventional fault localization (FL). Selective features of defined fault parameters are assorted as necessary conditions against different faulty actuators and synthesized in a fault tree subsequently to state the sufficiency towards possible abnormal parts. By matching fault features with those of estimated fault parameters, suspected faulty sections are located. Thereafter, active FL strategies that analyze the related fault parameters after executing purposive actuator control are proposed to provide precise fault location. Moreover, the generality of the proposed methods is analyzed to support extensive implementations. Simulations based on finite element analysis against a torpedo-shaped AUV with actuator faults are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
