Abstract: For a precise trajectory tracking of a wheeled mobile robot, accurate control of the position along a reference trajectory is essential. Therefore, this paper proposes an indirect neural adaptive controller for a nonholonomic mobile robot based on its dynamical model. This controller takes into account the approximation error. The use of the Lyapunov stability theorem and dynamical neural networks is indeed for deriving respectively stable learning laws for control and identification of a complex nonlinear dynamics system. The global tracking error is incorporated to adjust the neural weight learning laws to ensure the robustness of the system against approximation inaccuracy. Hence, the designed intelligent controller guarantees the convergence of both tracking and identification errors to zero. Simulation results illustrate the ability of the intelligent controller to assure the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop nonlinear uncertain system.
