Multiple flight modes result in complex models with strong nonlinearity, making fault detection of their actuators a very challenging task. To address this issue, this article proposes a fault detection method based on residual generated by using TSK fuzzy model. Initially, the flight modes of the tilt tri-rotor UAV are modeled as the TSK fuzzy model. Following this, the residual generator is employed for rapid detection of actuator failures. To enhance detection accuracy, the kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) algorithm is used for a secondary confirmation. The proposed algorithm was validated using both a simulation platform and real flight data.

In addition, centralized control poses a significant threat to system security. To address these issues, a distributed framework is suggested for a discrete-time nonlinear system that encounters unknown dead-zones at its input. The framework uses the inherent resilience of a decentralized peer-to-peer network to secure information exchange, eliminating the need for prior knowledge of system dynamics or potential attacks. The proposed framework performs two complex tasks: identifying the nonlinear system and dealing with the unknown nonlinearity at the input in the form of a dead-zone. An adaptive dead-zone inverse is used to handle the unknown nonlinearity at the input in the form of a dead-zone and integrate blockchain technology to secure communication between components. The blockchain component ensures tamper-proof data transmission and resistance to cyberattacks, providing both detection and defence mechanisms without prior knowledge of system dynamics or potential attacks. The actuator and plant components are matched and synchronized using a private network with static nodes, ensuring deterministic and well-coordinated communication. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework both with and without blockchain integration, maintains stability and outperforms traditional methods in terms of robustness and accuracy, even when all parts of the framework are adjusted in response to attacks.</p>","PeriodicalId":50382,"journal":{"name":"IET Control Theory and Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/cth2.12776","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143115091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The critic-based neuro-fuzzy learning (CBNFL) method aims to achieve consensus and minimize local tracking errors. Additionally, an explicit synchronization condition for the network using the Lyapunov theorem is derived. Each vehicle tracks its reference phase and frequency. Employing a fuzzy critic to evaluate the current state and generate a stress signal for the controller, the method prompts adaptive parameter adjustments to minimize this signal.

This approach exhibits high scalability, accommodating numerous autonomous agents. To validate the proposed learning method's efficacy, numerical simulations are conducted on a network of five oscillators.

At each time step in each iteration, the MPC controller calculates a sequence of control inputs that robustly satisfy state and control constraints, as well as terminal constraints based on the GP-based reachable sets. Then only the first control input is applied to the system. After the iteration, the initial state is reset, and the same procedure is executed with the MPC optimization problem defined by the updated terminal set and cost. As iteration goes on, improvement of the control performance is expected since more data is obtained and the environment is progressively explored.
