This paper extends the results previously obtained for trajectory tracking of unknown plants using recurrent neural networks. The proposed controller structure is composed of a neural identifier and a control law defined by using the inverse optimal control approach, which has been improved so that less inputs than states are needed. The proposed new control scheme is applied to the control a robotic manipulator model.
