The dynamic characteristics of 3-D overhead cranes with double-pendulum effect are
complex, which makes the controller design particularly challenging. Besides, in actual …

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

In this work, the adaptive fuzzy fast terminal sliding mode control (AFFTSMC) is used to
create a robust fault-tolerant control system for the care and swing-up control problem of the …

This study introduces a novel double variable-length cable pendulum model and
experimental setup featuring elastic suspension and counterweight mass. Our main goal is …

As an underactuated system, the overhead crane is widely used to transport cargoes in
industry according to its flexibility and lifting capacity. Many control strategies are designed …

Shipborne multidimensional wave motion compensation devices eliminate the relative
motion of cargo between supply and supplied ships. However, the random sway of ships …

This paper presents a fixed-time neuro-adaptive control design for a class of uncertain under-
actuated nonlinear systems (UNS) using a non-singular fast terminal sliding mode control …

This paper focuses on the development of minimum time control profiles for point-to-point
motion of a gantry crane system in the presence of uncertainties in modal parameters …

We propose continuous integral-type sliding mode tracking control (CIT-SMTC) for a class of
under-actuated gantry/bridge cranes. Compared to the available sliding-mode-based …

Conventionally, researchers have favored the model-based control scheme for controlling
gantry crane systems. However, this method necessitates a substantial investment of time …
