To achieve the tracing control of a three-links spatial robot, a adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller based on radial basis function neural network is proposed in this paper. The exponential sliding mode controller is divided into two parts: equivalent part and exponential corrective part. To realize the control without the model information of the system, a radial basis function neural network is designed to estimate the equivalent part. To diminish the chattering, a fuzzy controller is designed to adjust the corrective part according to sliding surface. The simulation studies have been carried out to show the tracking performance of a three-links spatial robot. Simulation results show the validity of the control scheme.
