Neural network adaptive robust control of nonlinear systems in semi-strict feedback form

In this paper, the recently proposed neural network adaptive robust control (NNARC) design axe generalized to synthesize performance oriented control laws for a class of nonlinear systems transformable to the semi-strict feedback forms through the incorporation of backstepping design techniques. All unknown but repeatable nonlinearities in system are approximated by outputs of multi-layer neural networks to achieve a better model compensation and an improved performance. Through the use of discontinuous projections with fictitious bounds, a controlled on-line training of all NN weights is achieved. Robust control terms can then be constructed to attenuate various model uncertainties effectively for a guaranteed output tracking transient performance and a guaranteed final tracking accuracy.
