The High Redundancy Actuator (HRA) project investigates the use of a relatively
high number of small actuation elements, assembled in series and parallel in order to form a
single actuator which has intrinsic fault tolerance. Both passive and active methods of control
are planned for use with the HRA. This paper presents a multiple-model control scheme for a
10x10 HRA applied through the framework of multi-agent control.
