A multiple model adaptive architecture for the state estimation in discrete-time uncertain LPV systems
Rotondo, Damiano; Hassani, Vahid; Cristofaro, Andrea (Journal article, 2017)This paper addresses the problem of multiple model adaptive estimation (MMAE) for discrete-time linear parameter varying (LPV) systems that are affected by parametric uncertainty. The MMAE system relies on a finite number ... -
Diagnosis of icing and actuator faults in UAVs using LPV unknown input observers
Rotondo, Damiano; Cristofaro, Andrea; Johansen, Tor Arne; Nejjari, F; Puig, V (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper proposes a discrete-time linear parameter varying (LPV) unknown input observer (UIO) for the diagnosis of actuator faults and ice accretion in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Fault tolerant control of uncertain dynamical systems using interval virtual actuators
Rotondo, Damiano; Cristofaro, Andrea; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this paper, a model reference fault tolerant control strategy based on a reconfiguration of the reference model, with the addition of a virtual actuator block, is presented for uncertain systems affected by disturbances ... -
Fault-tolerant control allocation for overactuated nonlinear systems
Cristofaro, Andrea; Polycarpou, Marios M.; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper addresses the problem of fault-tolerant control allocation for input affine nonlinear systems. The proposed scheme is divided in three main tasks: fault detection and estimation using a nonlinear observer, fault ... -
Fault-tolerant control allocation: an Unknown Input Observer based approach with constrained output fault directions
Cristofaro, Andrea; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper focuses on the use of unknown input observers for detection and isolation of actuator and effector faults with control reconfiguration in overactuated systems. The control allocation actively uses input redundancy ... -

Cristofaro, Andrea; Johansen, Tor Arne (Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)This paper focuses on fault tolerant control allocation for overactuated systems with actuator dynamics. The proposed scheme for fault detection and isolation is based on unknown input observers and the main contribution ... -
Icing Detection and Identification for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles using Adaptive Nested Multiple Models
Cristofaro, Andrea; Aguiar, A. P.; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A multiple-model approach for icing diagnosis and identification in small unmanned aerial vehicles is proposed. The accretion of ice layers on wings and control surfaces modifies the shape of the aircraft and, consequently, ... -
Icing diagnosis in unmanned aerial vehicles using an LPV multiple model estimator
Rotondo, Damiano; Cristofaro, Andrea; Hassani, Vahid; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The phenomenon of icing, i.e. ice accretion on aircraft surfaces, affects the flight performance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Autonomous icing detection schemes are needed in order to assure high efficiency and limit ... -
