Tower cranes play a vital role in modern construction for transporting material, yet the
persisting issue of crane-related accidents, often attributable to human error, underscores …

This paper proposes an input sha** technique for efficient payload swing control of a
tower crane with cable length variations. Artificial neural network is utilized to design a zero …

This paper presents a smooth command (SC) input shaper for suppressing payload
oscillations in rest-to-rest simultaneous radial and tangential motions of a tower crane. The …

Load-sway and boom-twist should both be considered in motion control given that a large
crane typically has a long lattice boom. Hence, this study first analyzes the load-sway and …

To efficiently transmit electric power to consumers, the power lines need to be inspected
routinely for early fault detection. Thus, power line inspection robots are designed to replace …

Flexible link manipulators (FLM) are widely preferred in applications that require faster
operation, high maneuverability, and less energy consumption. However, their flexibility is …

Effective control of the tower crane system (TCS) is crucial for the safe and quick transport of
goods from one point to another in industries and construction sites. However, the existing …

Intelligent robotic inspection of power transmission lines has proved to be an excellent
alternative to the traditional manual inspection methods, which are often tedious, expensive …

An overhead crane system is a complex time-varying system if it includes simultaneous
hoisting and moving operations. To address the problem that time-varying systems usually …

Underactuated robotic and mechatronic systems have been employed in many practical
applications for a long time. It is crucial to increase crane efficiency for practical applications; …
