An application of Gaussian radial based function neural networks for the control of a nonlinear multi link robotic manipulator

The theory of Gaussian radial based function neural networks is developed along with a stable adaptive weight training law founded upon Lyapunov stability theory. This is applied to the control of a nonlinear multi-linked robotic manipulator for the general case of N links. Simulations of a two link system are performed and demonstrate the derived principles.
