In this article, an adaptive radial basis function neural network scheme for trajectory tracking control of surface vehicles is proposed. Under complex uncertainties, the proposed controller is designed by combining radial basis function neural network and finite-time control algorithm. Using the novel controller, the stability of accurate trajectory tracking can be ensured and the robustness of control system can be improved. Theoretical proof is proposed by Lyapunov function that the radial basis function neural network controller can make surface vehicle to accurately track desire trajectory steadily. Simulation studies conducted on a prototype CyberShip II demonstrate remarkable performance of proposed control scheme.
