Title :
Reliable observer-based control using vector-valued decision by majority
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
This paper is based on a new concept for fault-tolerant control systems against sensor failures that the truly important information for control and fault-tolerance should have redundancy. This paper considers redundant observers for information redundancy on the state of a plant and introduces analog vector-valued decision by majority among their estimated states
