By adopting the linear parameter varying (LPV) control technique, this paper presents an active fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategy with application to unmanned quadrotor helicopter (UQH). Adverse effects from payload grasping and dropping caused variations of system dynamics as well as battery drainage induced loss of actuator effectiveness are expected to be counteracted in this study. First, the UQH is manipulated by a well designed baseline controller. In the presence of either payload grasping/dropping or battery drainage, their magnitudes are then obtained from a LPV-based fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) scheme. Next, based on the estimated values, a fault-tolerant tracking controller, which is linear parameter dependent, is devised in a convex polytopic LPV representation schedules to a new status in corresponding to the system variations, so that the negative impacts can be compensated. The parameters that change with system variations are specified as scheduling scalars for the LPV controller, while the ultimate control rule linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions. Finally, both numerical simulations on a nonlinear model of UQH and experiments on a real UQH are conducted so as to testify the effectiveness of proposed methodology.
