This paper proposes an improved unity magnitude zero vibration (UMZV) shaper for payload
sway reduction of an underactuated 3D overhead crane with hoisting effects. The proposed …

This paper presents a practical time-optimal and smooth trajectory planning algorithm and
then applies it to robot manipulators. The proposed algorithm uses the time-optimal theory …

An enhanced coupling PD with sliding mode control method, called ECPD-SMC in short, is
presented for double-pendulum overhead crane systems in this paper. The proposed …

This paper proposes an improved input sha** scheme for an efficient sway control of a
nonlinear three dimensional (3D) overhead crane with friction using the particle swarm …

A tower crane is a nonlinear mechatronic system with complicated underactuated
characteristics, which is widely used in modern construction sites. At present, most existing …

Payload hoisting and wind disturbance during crane operations are among the challenging
factors that affect a payload sway and thus, affect the crane's performance. This paper …

This paper presents the design of a hybrid partial feedback linearization and deadbeat
control scheme for a nonlinear gantry crane with friction to control its position and sway …

Safety requirements are becoming increasingly important for various industrial production
processes. Even though many facilities have been designed and used to ensure safety, the …
