Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The paper proposes an adaptive prescribed performance control for the balancing problem of a reaction-wheeled inverted pendulum Cubli Rovers with consideration of the environmental characteristics of the asteroid and avoiding jumping conditions. By constraining the tracking errors of the attitude angles in the boundary function, the global asymptotic convergence has been proved. Therefore, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method. 

In the reviewer's opinion, the actual version of the manuscript requires additional proofreading and a careful English grammar check to make it ready for journal publication.

Reviewer 3 Report

In the Introduction, there was only a short brief description about the Prescribed performance control (PPC) method. Authors directly proposed its use in this research. Therefore, not clear what so special or advantage of using PPC in earlier literature review.

The result discussion lacking of justification. Reasoning of PPC behaviour especially in comparison with Backtracking is not clear. In most cases, Backtracking seems to perform better than PPC. The only advantage from PPC is the low usage of control effort. If this is an important factor, perhaps the paper should have highlighted the control effort parameter and its concern in such application.
