Crane-lift operations are critical in construction. With the advancement of information and
communications technologies, crane-lift automation (CLA) has been increasingly explored …

Tower cranes play a vital role in modern construction for transporting material, yet the
persisting issue of crane-related accidents, often attributable to human error, underscores …

Unsafe hoisting behaviors are the fuse of tower crane overturning safety accident. However,
the hoisting operation has a certain degree of randomness and invisibility, and it is …

A novel adaptive neural network tracking control method is systematically investigated for a
unique double-pendulum tower crane system model in this article. Several critical and …

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

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 …

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

Anti-sway control is an important issue affecting the safety and efficiency of tower crane
operation, but the role of the human operator in this control loop is largely unknown. This …

Double-pendulum dynamics increase the difficulty of the control for the tower cranes.
Especially, it would be a greater challenge with obstacle avoidance while satisfying full …

This paper presents a passivity-based adaptive control method for a 5 degree-of-freedom
(DOF) tower crane that guarantees robust payload trajectory tracking. The 5-DOF tower …
