By incorporating the redefined error monitor function into the network design, an error redefinition neural network (ERNN) is proposed to control mobile redundant manipulators to execute the tracking task in this article. The global asymptotic stability and the strong antidisturbance capability of the ERNN are proved theoretically. Furthermore, the ERNN can overcome the overshoot and constant disturbance. Meanwhile, the ERNN is input-to-state stable, while the bounded time-varying disturbance is considered as the control input. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To solve online continuous time-varying convex quadratic-programming problems constrained by a time-varying linear-equality, a novel varying-parameter convergent-differential neural network (termed as VP-CDNN) is proposed and analyzed. Different from fixed-parameter convergent-differential neural network (FP-CDNN), such as the gradient-based recurrent neural network, the classic Zhang neural network (ZNN), and the finite-time ZNN (FT-ZNN), VP-CDNN is based on monotonically increasing time-varying design-parameters. Theoretical analysis proves that VP-CDNN has super exponential convergence and the residual errors of VP-CDNN converge to zero even under perturbation situations, which are both better than traditional FP-CDNN and FT-ZNN. Computer simulations based on different activation functions are illustrated to verify the super exponential convergence performance and strong robustness characteristics of the proposed VP-CDNN. A robot tracking example is finally presented to verify the effectiveness and availability of the proposed VP-CDNN. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
