This FTC is based on Lyapunov redesign principle. The singular perturbation method is used to reduce the dynamic model of the flexible joint robot in a fast and slow subsystem. The time scale reduction of the flexible joint model is carried out when their joint stiffness is large enough and the singular perturbation parameter is set to zero. The fault-tolerant control structure in this paper is based on two parts.
