A brief overview on the model-based control and data-driven control methods is presented.
The data-driven equivalent dynamic linearization, as a foundational analysis tool of data …

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 …

The effects of time varying parameters and external disturbances on a flexible system may
badly degrade the control performance resulting in excessive induced …

Offshore cranes are complicated underactuated systems, which work in harsh sea
conditions. Due to the various severe disturbances, the control of offshore cranes has …

A wide application of sliding mode variable structure control as a nonlinear robust control
method, has been witnessed in anti-swing positioning control of bridge crane system …

This paper focuses on the trajectory tracking issue of the pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM)
exoskeleton system. First of all, a new type of the PAM elbow exoskeleton was introduced to …

This paper describes an efficient method called Riccati discrete time transfer matrix method
of multibody system (MS-RDTTMM) for studying the dynamic modeling and anti-swing …

This chapter proposes a fuzzy approximation-based adaptive sliding-mode control scheme
for uncertain nonlinear perturbed underactuated systems. The underactuated system under …

The control problem of gantry cranes has attracted the attention of many researchers
because of the various applications of these cranes in the industry. In this paper we propose …

The movement of the gantry crane is controlled by an symmetry underactuated system, and
has poor robustness in precise positioning. A new active control method based on the …
