Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of the proposed research methodology is to control the trajectory tracking of EDRM and also to cancel out the effect of no-smooth nonlinearities, which affect the system performance badly.
Design/methodology/approach
Robust adaptive neural network (RANN)-based backstepping control design methodology is presented in this paper. The proposed design methodology improves the trajectory tracking and running mean error.
Findings
The running mean error results show that the convergence of the proposed RANN-based backstepping technique is very fast as compare to the conventional PD control and due to this proposed control technique, the EDRM follows its desired trajectory perfectly.
Practical implications
The EDRM trajectory tracking performance increases which leads to a better working position of EDRM.
Originality/value
The originality of this research article is 93 per cent.
