Abstract

Fault-tolerant control is since several years a heavily researched scientific field that was successfully applied in numerous cases. In the last years this concept was accompanied by fault-tolerant design. It intends to enhance the controllability and diagnosability of technical systems through intelligent design as well as to increase the fault-tolerance of technical systems through inherently fault-tolerant design characteristics such as redundancy. The approaches, methods and tools of fault-tolerant design were applied to a balanced two-wheel scooter on different levels, ranging from a conscious requirements management to consciously chosen redundant elements on the most concrete level - the product geometry. On the functional level a virtual decision engine is presented, which allows the generation of correction factors for the control system.
