摘要

This paper proposes a novel adaptive intelligent tracking controller design scheme for a type of nonlinear delayed systems with completely unknown nonlinearities and non-strict-feedback structure. In the backsteppping-based design architecture, the intelligent estimation technique is utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions via neural networks, and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are designed to deal with the unknown delay terms. The constructed adaptive intelligent controller guarantees the semi-global boundedness of the resulting closed-loop system and the system output eventually converges to a small neighborhood around the desired reference signal. In the end, the presented simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
