Abstract: A Twin Rotor MIMO System (TRMS) is a dynamic model, which is similar in behaviour with helicopter system with significant cross-coupling. Actuator failure in helicopter system may cause huge risks to life and property. Thus, a redundant system is required. Therefore, there is a need for a system, which can direct the control action to the other analogous system so that damages can be eluded. In this paper, redundant motors are used in parallel with the actual motors to avoid this damage and maintain the system stability.
