This paper presents an indirect adaptive neural network (NN) control algorithm tailored for flexible joint robots (FJRs), aimed at achieving desired transient and steady-state performance. To simplify the controller design process, the original higher-order system is decomposed into two lower-order subsystems using the singular perturbation technique (SPT). NNs are then employed to reconstruct the aggregated uncertainties. An adaptive prescribed performance control (PPC) strategy and a continuous terminal sliding mode control strategy are introduced for the reduced slow subsystem and fast subsystem, respectively, to guarantee a specified convergence speed and steady-state accuracy for the closed-loop system. Additionally, a composite-learning optimal bounded ellipsoid algorithm (OBE)-based identification scheme is proposed to update the NN weights, where the tracking errors of the reduced slow and fast subsystems are integrated into the learning algorithm to enhance the identification and tracking performance. The stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously established using the Lyapunov approach. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed identification and control schemes.
