An adaptive neural network dynamic surface control method for strict feedback non‐linear systems with model uncertainty is proposed in this paper. The uncertain parts are approached by RBF neural network; meanwhile, the virtual controller is designed to make system stable according to dynamic surface control. The method of Lyapunov is used to prove the stability and convergence of the system. The simulation results prove the feasibility of this controller and prove that the controller has an advantage to approach the uncertain non‐linear system and make system have well convergence and traceability. A simplified adaptive neural network dynamic surface control method for strict feedback non‐linear systems with model uncertainty is proposed in this paper.
