Summary In view of the result and performance of control are affected by the existence of input constraints and requirements, adaptive multi‐dimensional Taylor network (MTN) funnel control problem is studied for a class of nonlinear systems with asymmetric input saturation in this paper. Firstly, the effect of asymmetric input saturation can overcome by introducing the Gaussian error function, namely, the asymmetric saturation model is represented as a simple linear model with a bounded disturbance. Secondly, MTNs are employed to approximate the unknown functions in the controller design. Then, an adaptive MTN tracking controller is developed by blends the idea of funnel control into backstepping, which can guarantee that the tracking error always meets the given prescribed performance regarding the transient and steady state responses as well as the output of system tracks the give continuous reference signal. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control is demonstrated using two examples.
