This paper presents an online neural identification and control scheme in continuous-time for trajectory tracking of a robotic arm evolving in the vertical plane. A recurrent high-order neural network (RHONN) structure in a block strict-feedback form is proposed to identify online in a series-parallel configuration, using the filtered error learning law, the dynamics of the plant. Based on the RHONN identifier structure, a stabilizing controller is derived via integrator backstepping procedure. The performance of the neural control scheme proposed is tested on a two degrees of freedom robotic arm, of our own design and unknown parameters, powered by industrial servomotors.
