<jats:p>The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive system is extensively utilized in high-precision positioning applications that demand superior dynamic performance across various operating conditions. Given the non-linear characteristics of the PMSM, a neuroadaptive sensorless controller based on B-spline neural networks is proposed to determine the control signals necessary for achieving the desired performance. The proposed control technique considers the system’s non-linearities and can be adapted to varying operating conditions, all while maintaining a low computational cost suitable for real-time operation. The introduced neuroadaptive controller is evaluated under conditions of uncertainty, and its performance is compared to that of a conventional PI controller optimized using the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The results demonstrate the viability of the proposed approach.</jats:p>
