description To maintain the safe operation and acceptable performance of robot manipulators when faults occur inside the system, fault-tolerant control must deal differently uncertainties and disturbances, especially with the occurrence of loss-effective faults. Therefore, in this paper, an active fault-tolerant control for robot manipulators based on the combination of a novel finite-time synchronous fast terminal sliding mode control and extended state observer is proposed. Due to the internal constraints of the synchronization technique, the position error at each actuator simultaneously approaches zero and tends to be equal. Therefore, the proposed controller can suppress the effects of faults and guarantee the acceptable performance of robot manipulators when faults occur. First, an extended state observer is designed to estimate the lumped uncertainties, disturbance and faults. Then, the information from the observer is used to combine with the main novel synchronous fast terminal sliding mode controller as a compensator. By combining the merits of the observer compensation, sliding mode and synchronization technique, the proposed fault-tolerant controller is able to deal with uncertainties and disturbances in normal operation mode and reduce the effects of faults in case faults occur, especially in the occurrence of loss-effective faults. Finally, the enhanced safety, reality and effectiveness of the proposed fault-tolerant control are evaluated through the control of a 3-DOF robot manipulator in both a simulated environment and experiment.
