Robotic and mechatronic systems, autonomous vehicles, electric power systems and smart
grids, as well as manufacturing and industrial production systems can exhibit complex …

A limited number of coupling-based works have been reported for stabilizing the overhead
crane subject to both parametric uncertainty and input saturation. Particularly, integral action …

As an indispensable transportation tool, tower cranes are widely used in construction sites.
However, since the mass and volume of the transported goods become larger, most of the …

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 …

In this paper, a novel periodic sliding mode control method is designed for 4-DOF tower
crane systems with unmatched disturbances as well as unknown/time-varying control …

As a kind of convenient and practical oscillation suppression method, the open-loop
controllers are widely utilized in the control of actual cranes, yet most of them need to be …

For transporting large cargoes in practice, the triple pendulum hoisting pattern is widely
utilized, where the distributed mass payload (DMP) is suspended under the hanger, the …

In the paper, the authors present a general mathematical model of an open-loop kinematic
chain with auxiliary sub-chains in application to the dynamics analysis of an exemplary …

For small sample image data sets, the image enhancement method is often used to expand
the amount of data to increase the rationality of the experiment. The image enhancement …

As a type of dispensable transport tool, overhead cranes are extensively applied in large
industrial sites to transport containers and goods due to their extraordinary convenience and …
