Abstract

Neural network (NN) controllers for the robust back stepping control ofrobotic systems in both continuous and discrete-time are presented. Controlaction is employed to achieve tracking performance for unknown nonlinearsystem. Tuning methods are derived for the NN based on delta rule. Novelweight tuning algorithms for the NN are obtained that are similar toϵ-modification in the case of continuous-timeadaptive control. Uniform ultimate boundedness of the tracking error and theweight estimates are presented without using the persistency of excitation(PE) condition. Certainty equivalence is not used and regression matrix isnot computed. No learning phase is needed for the NN and initialization ofthe network weights is straightforward. Simulation results justify thetheoretical conclusions.
