A robust linear control methodology based on fictitious failure rejection

We propose here a quite simple and effective robust linear control scheme based on failure detection techniques. Our proposed linear control approach is intended to reject linearly structured uncertainties, the uncertainty is then modeled via a deterministic signal, that is identified as an actuator fault. The proposed robust control methodology is illustrated via the altitude control of a planar vertical takeoff and landing (PVTOL) aircraft in a laboratory setting.
