Abstract
This article proposes an adaptive neural network (NN) control method for an n -link constrained robotic manipulator. Driven by actual demands, manipulator and actuator dynamics, state and input constraints, and unknown time-varying delays are taken into account simultaneously. NNs are employed to approximate unknown nonlinearities. Time-varying barrier Lyapunov functions are utilized to cope with full-state constraints. By resorting to saturation function and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, the effects of actuator saturation and time delays are eliminated. It is proved that all the closed-loop signals are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded, full-state constraints and actuator saturation are not violated, and error signals remain within compact sets around zero. Simulation studies are given to demonstrate the validity and advantages of this control scheme.
