This paper deals with the problem of robust fault estimation for uncertain time delay Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models. The aim of this study is to design a delay dependent fault estimator ensuring a prescribed Hinfin performance level for the fault estimation error, irrespective of the uncertainties and the time delays. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a robust fault estimator are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Membership functions'(MFs) characteristics are incorporated into the fault estimator design to reduce the conservativeness of neglecting these characteristics
