In this paper, an adaptive neural-network-based torque compensator is developed for the trajectory-tracking control of robot manipulators. The overall control structure employs a classical non-linear decoupling controller for actuating torque computation based on an approximated robot dynamic model. To suppress the effects of uncertainties associated with the estimated model, a supplementary neural network algorithm is developed to generate compensation torques. The weight adaptation rule for this neuro-compensator is derived on the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory. Both global system stability and the error convergence can then be guaranteed. Simulation studies on a two-link robot manipulator demonstrate that high performance of the proposed control algorithm could be achieved under severe modelling uncertainties.

In this article, an adaptive radial basis function neural network scheme for trajectory tracking control of surface vehicles is proposed. Under complex uncertainties, the proposed controller is designed by combining radial basis function neural network and finite-time control algorithm. Using the novel controller, the stability of accurate trajectory tracking can be ensured and the robustness of control system can be improved. Theoretical proof is proposed by Lyapunov function that the radial basis function neural network controller can make surface vehicle to accurately track desire trajectory steadily. Simulation studies conducted on a prototype CyberShip II demonstrate remarkable performance of proposed control scheme.
