Robust Tracking Control of Space Robot via Neural Network

Abstract

This paper proposes a new robust control method for space robot by using neural network. A radial-basis-function (RBF) neural network is included to compensate for the system uncertainties. The parameters of the neural network are adapted on-line according to derived learning algorithms using Lyapunov method. Simulation results of a two-link planar space robot verify the validity of the proposed controller in the presence of uncertainties.
