Abstract

Overhead crane systems play an important role in many engineering sites, such as harbors, factories, construction sites, etc. Traditionally, overhead crane systems are operated by experienced operators. However, due to the increased demand on fast and accurate payload positioning and suppressing of swing angles, as well as safety issues, automation, and control technologies are overwhelmingly applied in controlling of overhead crane systems. Overhead cranes are essentially an underactuated nonlinear system where motions of trolley of the payload are highly coupled, which makes them difficult to control. This chapter presents an autonomous motion control framework for overhead cranes.
