Quad-rotor Failures

Due to the high cost of the MAV equipment, it is imperative to provide such systems with a fault-control loop, responsible for the identification of possible faults presented at any time of the flight envelope. Motivated by the fault diagnosis problem, which is the problem of observing fault signals, and the necessity of developing sufficiently robust controllers to cope the presence of likely faults, this research work deals not only with the MAV stabilization problem, but also with the identification of actuator faults. Few works dealing with the fault diagnosis problem applied on quad-rotors are presented in the literature.
