Abstract:In this paper, we provide a novel adaptive neural network backstepping control scheme for a special variable stiffness actuator (VSA) based on lever mechanisms with saturation inputs, output constraints and disturbances is presented here. In the controller designing, the prescribed performance-tangent barrier Lyapunov function (PP-TBLF) is introduced to ensure that both the prescribed performance bound of tracking error and the output constraints are not violated. In specific steps of backstepping control sche… Show more
