Fault tolerant control using Gaussian processes and model predictive control
Xiaoke Yang, Jan M. Maciejowski
Abstract
Essential ingredients for fault-tolerant control are the ability to represent system behaviour following the occurrence of
a fault, and the ability to exploit this representation for deciding control actions. Gaussian processes seem to be very
promising candidates for the first of these, and model predictive control has a proven capability for the second. We therefore
propose to use the two together to obtain fault-tolerant control functionality. Our proposal is illustrated by several
reasonably realistic examples drawn from flight control.
