This article presents a complete review of the modeling and control schemes for overhead
cranes operating in 2D and 3D spaces published to date. The modeling schemes including …

In real-world applications, industrial cranes commonly suffer from effects caused by the so-
called double-pendulum phenomenon in many situations. However, at present, the double …

In this paper, a sliding-mode control for an offshore container crane is discussed. The
offshore container crane is used to load/unload containers between a huge container ship …

Tower crane systems exhibit high nonlinearity and underactuation, making the control issue
challenging. Most reported methods for tower crane systems utilize linearized models, and …

Sliding mode control (SMC), which is known to present strong robustness against various
disturbances, has been extensively employed on underactuated systems, whose control …

Presently, ship-mounted cranes are playing more and more important roles in modern
ocean transportation and logistics. Different from traditional land-fixed crane systems, ship …

In this paper, an adaptive sliding-mode control (ASMC) for offshore container cranes that
load/unload containers from a mega container ship to a smaller vessel is investigated. To …

An adaptive sliding mode control scheme for container cranes is investigated in this study. A
sliding surface is designed in such a way that the sway motion of the payload is incorporated …

For practical underactuated cranes, vertical load motion is always involved, which, owing to
the internal nonlinear coupling, may trigger larger amplitude load oscillations, making the …

Based on partial feedback linearization, an improved nonlinear controller is analyzed and
designed for the three-dimensional motion of an overhead crane. Three control inputs …
