Crane systems are tremendously utilised in numerous heavy load transportation industries,
and therefore, the control of crane systems is a well-established research field. As the last …

Underactuated robotics is an emerging research direction in the field of robotics. The control
input of the underactuated robot is less than the degree of freedom of the system. It has the …

In practice, underactuated systems are widely used, and their control problems have
attracted much attention in recent years. For safety concerns or transient performance …

Due to limited workspace and safety requirements for practical underactuated mechanical
systems, it is necessary to restrict all to-be-controlled variables and their velocities within …

This brief proposes a motion planning-based adaptive control strategy for an underactuated
overhead crane system. To improve the transportation efficiency and enhance the safety of …

As commonly used tools for industrial production, overhead crane systems may suffer from
the double pendulum effect in practice when the hook is not negligible or the payload cannot …

As a class of underactuated systems, cooperative dual rotary crane systems (DRCSs) are
widely used to complete the task of large payload transportation in complex environments …

Motivated by the desire to achieve smooth trolley transportation and small payload swing, a
kinematic coupling-based off-line trajectory planning method is proposed for 2-D overhead …

This paper deals with the sliding mode control of a three-dimensional overhead crane. The
model of the crane consists of five highly nonlinear second-order ordinary differential …

This paper analyzes the dynamics of an offshore boom crane and proposes a high-
performance nonlinear controller to drive the system states to track some constructed …
