This article presents a complete review of the modeling and control schemes for overhead
cranes operating in 2D and 3D spaces published to date. The modeling schemes including …

In this study, a novel fast terminal sliding mode control technique based on the disturbance
observer is recommended for the stabilization of underactuated robotic systems. The finite …

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

The patients of paralysis with motion impairment problems require extensive rehabilitation
programs to regain motor functions. The great labor intensity and limited therapeutic effect of …

One of the most significant structural dynamics problems of large gantry cranes are elastic
vibrations in trolley travel direction. They put additional mechanical stresses on a crane …

This paper presents a new configuration of a linear control system that provides a superior
disturbance-rejection performance. The concept of equivalent input disturbance (EID) is …

This paper proposes a novel non-singular fast terminal sliding control technique for
underactuated robotic manipulators. The proposed approach combines the robustness …

In this paper, a novel time-varying gain extended state observer (ESO)-based moving sliding
mode control method is proposed for anti-sway and positioning control of two-dimensional …

The past decades have seen increasing demands for the transportation capability of
overhead cranes. In practice, as the cargoes grow larger and heavier, they often need to be …

Flexible structural vibrations of large gantry cranes are a well-known issue. Several control
strategies were proposed for this problem, which require a detailed dynamical model. Since …
