Fault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerance for Mechatronic Systems: Recent Advances (Hardcover, 2003 ed.)

The book reports an extended version of the lectures given by distinguished scholars at the workshop "Fault diagnosis and fault tolerance for dynamic systems" held in conjunction with the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control in Vancouver, Canada, from 27-30 October 2002. The book collects some of the most recent results in fault diagnosis and fault tolerant systems with particular emphasis on mechatronic systems. Each chapter focuses on either theoretical aspects or applications to different fields of interest in mechatronics such as industrial robotics, underwater vehicles, hydraulic systems, and flight control.
