High Redundancy Actuation — (HRA) is a new approach to fault tolerant control in the area of mechanical actuation. Overview The basic idea is to use a lot of small actuation elements, so that a fault of one element has only a minor effect on the overall system. This way, a… … Wikipedia
Triple modular redundancy — In computing, triple modular redundancy (TMR) is a fault tolerant form of N modular redundancy, in which three systems perform a process and that result is processed by a voting system to produce a single output. If any one of the three systems… … Wikipedia
