                Abstract: 
                The traveling-wave ultrasonic motor (TWUSM) has significant features such as high holding torque at low speed range, high precision, fast dynamics, simple structure, no electromagnetic interference. The TWUSM has been used in many practical areas such as industrial, medical, robotic, and automotive applications. However, the dynamic model of the TWUSM motor has the nonlinear characteristic and dead-zone problem which varies with many driving conditions. This paper presents a novel control scheme, recurrent fuzzy neural network (RFNN) and general regression neural network (GRNN) controller, for a TWUSM control. The RFNN provides a real-time control such that the TWUSM output can track the reference command. The back-propagation algorithm is applied in the RFNN to automatically adjust the parameters on-line. The adaptive laws of the RFNN are derived by Lyapunov theorem such that the stability of the system can be absolute. The GRNN controller is appended to the RFNN controller to compe
                nsate the dead-zone of the TWUSM system using a predefined set. The experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
