“…In recent decades, adaptive control of complex nonlinear systems such as robot manipulators with full-state constraints and uncertainties has been developed to deal with theoretical challenges and practical needs (Cheng, Cheng, Yu, Deng, & Hou, 2016;Y. Huang, Na, Wu, Liu, & Guo, 2015; T. Lee, Koh, & Loh, 1996;G.-H. Yang & Ye, 2006). In the field of adaptive control, neural networks (NNs) are always considered as an efficient way to handle the uncertain or poorly known dynamics due to their universal approximation capabilities (Cheng, Liu, Hou, Yu, & Tan, 2015;Hou, 2001;Kennedy & Chua, 1988;Z.…”
