Robust adaptive neural backstepping control for a class of nonlinear systems with dynamic uncertainties (Q1724690)

Summary: This paper is concerned with adaptive neural control of nonlinear strict-feedback systems with nonlinear uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, and dynamic disturbances. To overcome the difficulty from the unmodeled dynamics, a dynamic signal is introduced. Radical basis function (RBF) neural networks are employed to model the packaged unknown nonlinearities, and then an adaptive neural control approach is developed by using backstepping technique. The proposed controller guarantees semiglobal boundedness of all the signals in the closed-loop systems. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the presented control scheme.
