Shipboard cranes are extensively utilized in numerous fields such as cargo transferring and
offshore engineering. The control of shipboard cranes, especially the antiswing control of …

The maglev rail transit has entered a rapid development stage. In order to prevent potential
safety hazards in the operation of maglev train, the related monitoring technology needs to …

An adaptive integral sliding mode control (AISMC) method with payload sway reduction is
presented for 4-DOF tower cranes in this paper. The designed controller consists of three …

This paper presents a robust passivity-based adaptive control method for payload trajectory
tracking of a three degree-of-freedom overhead crane with a varying-length rigid hoist cable …

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

This paper presents a new control scheme based on model reference command shaping
(MRCS) for an overhead crane, with double-pendulum mechanism effects. The approach …

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 …

Most of the existing anti-swing control methods treat the crane as a single pendulum system
with fixed rope length. In this paper, considering the varying rope length, the dynamic model …

Specific payload shape and hoisting mechanism will transform the crane to a complex
double pendulum system with a distributed mass beams (DMB), which makes its control …

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 …
