Abstract
In this paper, a new design method for a self-repairing control system (SRCS) is developed for accommodation of actuator failures. The proposed SRCS can detect an abrupt actuator failure and switch from the faulty actuator to the healthy one. The repairing control is carried out with only three signals; the plant output, the designed control input and the test signal, and so it needs no a priori information about plants. Therefore, one can construct the simple SRCS whose structure does not depend on the order of the plant.
