TL;DR: A bibliographical review on reconfigurable fault-tolerant control systems (FTCS) is presented, with emphasis on the reconfiguring/restructurable controller design techniques.

TL;DR: An overview of both historical and recent USVs development is provided, along with some fundamental definitions, and existing USVs GNC approaches are outlined and classified according to various criteria, such as their applications, methodologies, and challenges.

TL;DR: Technologies related to UAV forest fire monitoring, detection, and fighting are briefly reviewed, including those associated with fire detection, diagnosis, and prognosis, image vibration elimination, and cooperative control of UAVs.

TL;DR: A novel fault tolerant attitude tracking control scheme is developed for flexible spacecraft with partial loss of actuator effectiveness fault and it is shown that the roll, pitch and yaw angle trajectories can globally asymptotically track the desired attitude in the face of faulty actuator, system uncertainties, external disturbances and even actuator saturation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage adaptive Kalman filter for simultaneous state and fault parameter estimation, statistical decisions for fault detection, and activation of controller reconfiguration is proposed.
