Abstract

Here, a novel adaptive neural sliding mode controller (ANSMC) is proposed to handle the coupling and dynamic uncertainty of MIMO systems. The structure of this model-free new controller is based on a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) which is derived from Lyapunov stability theory and relaxing Kalman–Yacubovich lemma to monitor the system for tracking a user-defined reference model. The weights of RBFNN can be initialized at zero, then, a novel online tuning algorithm is developed based on Lyapunov stability theory. A boundary layer function is introduced into the updating law to cover the parameter errors and modeling errors, and to guarantee the state errors converge into a specified error bound. An e-modification is added into the updating law to release the assumption of persistent excitation and obtain the appropriate values of the connecting weights of a RBFNN. To evaluate the control performance of the proposed controller, a two-link robot system is chosen as the simulation case. The numerical simulations results show that this novel controller has very good tracking accuracy, stability and robustness.
