Abstract—This paper presents the modeling and Model Predictive Controller (MPC) design for an omni-directional robot during a single actuator failure. A fault estimation method is used to identify the actuator failure, and thereby, the kinematic model of the mobile robot is reformulated to account for the fault. The controllability of the modified model during a single actuator failure is verified using Lie algebra. Finally, in the event of unforeseen combinations of single actuator failures, a Nonlinear MPC is designed for trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance. Simulation results are used to demonstrate the robustness of the system to actuator failure. Index Terms—Omni-directional robot, Actuator failure, MPC Cite: Dinsha Vinod and P. S.
