    Abstract
  • Many mechanical parts of multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) can easily produce non-smooth phenomenon and the external disturbance that affects the stability of MUAV. For multi-MUAV attitude systems that experience output dead-zone, external disturbance and actuator fault, a leader-following consensus anti-disturbance and fault-tolerant control (FTC) scheme is proposed in this paper. In the design process, the effect of unknown nonlinearity in multi-MUAV systems is addressed using neural networks (NNs). In order to balance out the effects of external disturbance and actuator fault, a disturbance observer is designed to compensate for the aforementioned negative impacts. The Nussbaum function is used to address the problem of output dead-zone. The designed fault-tolerant controller guarantees that the output signals of all followers and leader are synchronized by the backstepping technique. Finally, the effectiveness of the control scheme is verified by simulation experiments.

    • The leader-following consensus anti-disturbance and fault-tolerant control scheme is developed for the multi-MUAV attitude systems under a directed communication graph.
    • By introducing neural networks, the effect of unknown nonlinearity in multi-MUAV systems is disposed. The influence of output dead-zone problem on attitude control can be effectively reduced by Nussbaum function. A disturbance observer is designed to compensate the effects of external disturbance and actuator fault, and incorporate the disturbance estimation into the controller to actively compensate for the disturbance.
    • Different from most existing results, in this paper, the developed fault-tolerant controller can effectively solve the tracking control problem of the multi-MUAV attitude systems under output dead-zone, external disturbance and actuator fault.
