An active control for the swing of crane systems is very important for increasing the productivity. This article introduces the control for the position and the swing of a crane using the fuzzy learning method. Because the crane is a multi-variable system, learning is done to control both position and swing of the crane. Also the fuzzy control rules are separately acquired with the loading and unloading situation of the crane for more accurate control. The result of simulations shows that the crane is just controlled for a very large swing angle of 1 radian within nearly one cycle.

In this paper, we present a new control methodology for perturbed crane systems. Nonlinear crane systems are transformed to linear models by feedback linearization. An inverse dynamic equation is applied to compute the system PD control force. The PD control parameters are selected based on a nominal model and are therefore suboptimal for a perturbed system. To achieve the desired performance despite model perturbations, we construct a neural network auxiliary controller to compensate for modeling errors and disturbances. The overall control input is the sum of the nominal PD control and the neural auxiliary control. The neural network is iteratively trained with a perturbed system until acceptable performance is attained. We apply the proposed control scheme to 2- and 3-degree-of-freedom (D.O.F.) crane systems, with known bounds on the payload mass. The effectiveness of the control approach is numerically demonstrated through computer simulation experiments.

This paper presents position control of nonlinear three-dimensional crane systems using neural network approach. Such crane system generally includes very complicated characteristic dynamics and mechanical framework such that its mathematical model is expressed by strong nonlinearity. This leads difficulty in control design for the systems. We linearize the nonlinear system model to construct PID control applying well-known linear control theory and then neural network is utilized to compensate system perturbation due to linearization. Thus, control input of the crane system is composed of nominal PID and neural output signals respectively. Our method illustrates simple design procedure, but system perturbation and modelling error are overcome through a neural compensator. As well. adaptive neural control is constructed from online learning. Computer simulation demonstrates our control approach is superior to the classic control systems.

Automatic control systems for warehouse composed of unmanned crane system and vision system. Unmanned crane system is introduced to reject oscillations of a load suspended from a trolley at a moment of its arrival at its target position. And vision system is applied to find out the coordinates of coils on trucks using image processing.

In this paper, we deals with a decentralized control scheme with input compensation form for gantry crane systems. By considering the gantry crane's characteristics, the system is decentralized into two subsystems such as the travelling and sway subsystem, and the hoisting subsystem. For decentralizing the system, a simple algorithm is proposed using observability canonical form. The decentralized subsystems include unknown input which coupled with other subsystems and actuator failures. These unknown input and actuator failures are estimated by using PI observation techniques and those estimated values are used to construct an input compensation form. Lastly, the proposed decentralized control scheme far the gantry crane systems is verified by crane simulation.

The fuzzy control theory is applied to control a container crane, which is a very complicated system and controled manually by experts. As reference velocities of trolley and hoist of the container crane, we use those decided by experts, and express them by fuzzy model. We control the crane to follow the reference velocities by using fuzzy controllers. The fuzzy controllers are designed on the container crane. We made a model container crane and applied the suggested method to it

In this paper, we proposed a two-stage control of the container crane. The first stage control is time-optimal control for the purpose of fast trolley traveling. With suitable trolley velocity patterns, the sway which is generated during trolley moving is minimized. At the second stage control feedback control law is investigated for the quick suppression of residual vibration after the trolley motion. For more practical system, the container crane system is modeled as a partial differential equation (PDE) system with flexible cable. The dynamics of the cable is derived as a moving system with tension caused by payload using Hamilton's principle for the systems. A control law based upon the Lyapunov's method is derived. It is revealed that a time-varying control force and a suitable passive damping at the actuator can successfully suppress the transverse vibrations.

This paper presents robust and adaptive control method for complicated three dimensional crane systems with uncertain effect. We consider an overhead crane system in which a trolly located on its top is moved to x- and y-axis independently. We first approximate the complicated crane model through linearization approach to simply construct a PD control and then design an adaptive control system for compensating modeling error and control deviation which is feasibly occurred due to system perturbation in practice. An adaptive control scheme is analytically derived using Lyapunov stability theory for a given bound of system perturbation. We accomplish numerical simulation for evaluation of the proposed control system and demonstrate its superiority comparing with the traditional control strategy.

The roof crane system is used for transporting a variable load to a target position. The goal of crane control system is transporting the load to a goal position as quick as possible without rope oscillation. The crane is generally operated by an expert operator, but recently an automatic control system with high speed and rapid tansportation is required. In this paper, we developed a simple fuzzy controller which has been introduced expert's knowledge base for anti-swing and rapid tranportation to goal position. In particular, we proposed the synthesis reasoning method which synthesizes on the basis of expert knowledge of the angle control input and position control input which are inferenced parallel and simultaneously. And we confirmed that the performance of the developed controller is effective as a result of applying it to crane simulator and also verified whether the proposed synthesis rules have been applied correctly using clustering algorithm from the measured data.
