Crane systems are tremendously utilised in numerous heavy load transportation industries,
and therefore, the control of crane systems is a well-established research field. As the last …

When the double pendulum crane works in three-dimensional motion mode, it can
significantly improve transportation efficiency. However, controlling the two-stage swing …

The effects of time varying parameters and external disturbances on a flexible system may
badly degrade the control performance resulting in excessive induced …

The existing anti-swing control of crane is mostly used for the single pendulum system, but in
practical application, specific payload shape and hoisting mechanism will induce to complex …

In this paper, an improved trajectory planning method is proposed, which can effectively
avoid obstacles on the path and control the swing of the load during the transportation of a …

This paper presents an optimal performance control scheme for control of a three
dimensional (3D) crane system including a Zero Vibration shaper which considers two …

We introduce a control strategy to solve the regulation control problem, from the perspective
of trajectory planning, for an uncertain 3D overhead crane. The proposed solution was …

Overhead cranes with double-pendulum effect seem more practical than those with single-
pendulum effect. However, in this case, the dynamic performance analysis and the controller …

In this paper, a new adaptive hierarchical sliding mode control scheme for a 3D overhead
crane system is proposed. A controller is first designed by the use of a hierarchical structure …

In this paper, a unified symplectic pseudospectral method for motion planning and tracking
control of 3D underactuated overhead cranes is proposed. A feasible reference trajectory …
