Abstract: A new fault tolerant control methodology against the actuator failure is proposed. The novel filter method with adaptability to statistical characteristic of noise is proposed to improve the estimation accuracy of Unscented Kalman filter (UKF). The actuator health coefficients (AHCs) is introduced to denote the actuator failure model while the adaptive UKF is employed for on-line estimation of both the flight states and the AHCs parameters of rotorcraft UAV (RUAV). Simulations are conducted by using the model of SIA ServoHeli-20 RUAV of Shenyang Institute of Automation, CAS, and the results are compared with those obtained by normal UKF to demonstrate the effectiveness and improvements.
