In this article, a robust adaptive tracking controller is developed for robot manipulators with uncertain dynamics using radial basis function neural network. The design of tracking control systems for robot manipulators is a highly challenging task due to external disturbance and the uncertainties in their dynamics. The improved radial basis function neural network is chosen to approximate the uncertain dynamics of robot manipulators and learn the upper bound of the uncertainty. The adaptive law based on the Lyapunov stability theory is used to solve the uniform final bounded problem of the radial basis function neural network weights, which guarantees the stability and the consistent bounded tracking error of the closed-loop system. Finally, the simulation results are provided to demonstrate the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.
