Neural-network-based adaptive dynamic surface control for MIMO systems with unknown hysteresis

This paper focuses on the composite adaptive tracking control for a class of nonlinear multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems with unknown backlash-like hysteresis nonlinearities. A dynamic surface control method is incorporated into the proposed control strategy to eliminate the problem of explosion of complexity. Compared with some existing methods, the prediction error between system state and serial-parallel estimation model is combined with compensated tracking error to construct the adaptive laws for neural network (NN) weights. It is shown that the proposed control approach can guarantee that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop systems are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood. Finally, simulation results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
