Different from the existing results and approaches, a Lyapunov function candidate and an adaptive control law are developed to adaptively estimate the uncertain parameters and to asymptotically stabilize the uncertain nonlinear system, in which the control input also involves uncertain parameters, possibly in the nonlinear form. It is shown that asymptotic stabilization can be achieved under some mild conditions, even though the adaptively estimated parameters do not converge to the true system parameters. A sufficient condition is obtained for the asymptotic stabilizability, in terms of the quantization density and the multiplicative parameter error bound at the control input.

Tis study defines two tracking error systems related to the kinematic and dynamic control loops, which reduces the computational load compared to previous research. The two critic neural networks approximate the optimal cost functions and enable the adaptive tuning of the control policies. Theoretical analysis demonstrates both closed-loop stability and convergence.

It exhibits unfavorable behavior due to its non-minimum structure, necessitating a well-regulated controller to guarantee stability. This strategy is an enhanced iteration of the technique that uses the stability Lyapunov function to achieve greater stability and improved resistance to disturbances in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, the Black-box technique is employed to minimize the computing workload and facilitate implementation, under the assumption that there is no precise mathematical model available for the system. However, in real-time settings, disruptions with broader scopes such as fluctuations in supply voltage, variations in parameters, and noise might have adverse effects on the functioning of this approach. There is a need to set the most suitable initial gains for the controller to enhance its flexibility in more challenging working conditions. Therefore, to meet this requirement and enhance the effectiveness of the controller, the control scheme integrates a computational method called the Snake optimization (SO) algorithm. The SO method is known for its disciplined and nature-inspired approach, which results in faster decision-making and greater accuracy compared to other optimization algorithms. In order to further explain the advantages of this method, classical Backstepping and SO-based PID schemes are also developed and evaluated in various scenarios.
