We suggest a new type of swing motion control system for a crane system in which a small auxiliary mass is installed on the spreader. The actuator reacting against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the spreader of the container crane to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. In this paper, as the basic and first step, we apply the $H_{\infty}$ control approach to anti-sway control system design problem. And, it will be shown that the proposed control strategy is useful and it can be easily applicable to the real world. So, in this study, we investigate usefulness of the proposed anti-sway system and evaluate system performance through simulation and experimental studies.

A strategy for the swing-up control according to states of the 2-link rotational pendulum is proposed. The proposed controller consists of two modes of control such as divergence mode and stabilization mode. When the controller is in divergence mode, control input is generated using sinusoidal and signum function to make the first and second links reach the bottom and top positions, respectively. After the controller finishes divergence mode, stabilization mode is initiated to keep the pendulum around the top position using pole-placement method. Dynamic models including actuator dynamics are obtained using coordinate changes at each control mode. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents swing up and stabilization control of an underactuated two-link robot called the Pendubot. This device is a two-link planar robot with an actuator at the shoulder, but no actuator at the elbow. The controller swings up first link from its open loop stable equilibrium point to the unstable equilibrium point and then, catches the unactuated second link to balance it there. Two control algorithms are used for this task. Proportional Derivative Control technique is used to design the swing up control. The linear model of Pendubot is obtained by linearizing the nonlinear dynamic equations about the desired equilibrium point and LQR technique is used to design a stabilization controller.

In this paper, in order to develop a remote progress management system through the Internet, we show a design method to make easy maintenance by developing the system with both the JAVA language and GoF Design Patterns. For the system implementation, we added the RS232C and RS422/RS485 communication modules to PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) in the control box which provide the real time status data of machines. Also we set up the RS232C to Ethernet converter based on wireless environment to communicate the PLC control data. We use JAVA Swing components to implement the multi-tier architecture system supported the GUI of the Applet and Frame at the same time so that the manager grasps the progress of work easily at the remote machines through the Internet. The key objective of the multi-tier architecture is to share resources among clients, this proposed system can help to develop the software to control the remote machine, and also it has the advantage that developer who wants to make a similar software can make easy to add new function reusing the existing codes.

This paper presents an optimal control algorithm for the overhead crane. To control the swing motion and the position tracking of the payload of the overhead crane a state feedback control algorithm is applied. by using a hybrid genetic algorithm the feedback gains of the state feedback is optimized to minimize the cost function composed of position errors and payload swing angle under unknown constant disturbances. Computer simulation is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.

Crane operation is manually accomplished by skilled operators. Recently, the concept of automation is widely introduced in shipping and unloading operation using the overhead crane for the enhanced productivity. In this regards, we designed an angle detector and 3D position detectro which are key evices for this operation. As well as an intellignet control algorithm is developed for the implementation of swing free crane. The performance of the presented algorithm is tested for the swing angle and the position of the overheas crand. The control scheme adopts a feedback control of an angular velocity of swing in initial phase and then the fuzzy controller whose rule base is optimized by a genetic algorithm.

This paper presents a GA(Genetic Algorithms)-Optical control strategy for the control of the swing motion and the transverse position of the overhead crane. The overhead crane system is defined uncertain due to unknown system parameters such as payload and trolly mass. To control the overhead crane. the GA-Optimal control scheme is suggested. which transfers a trolly to a desired place as fast as possible and minimizes the swing of the payload during the transfer. The genetic algorithms are applied to fine digital optimal feedback gains. A computer simulation demonstrate the performance of the proposed the GA-digital optimal controller for the overhead crane.

In general, the swing motions of a crane are controlled and suppressed by controlling the trolley motion. In many of our previous studies, we suggested a new type of anti-sway control system for a crane. In this proposed control system, a small auxiliary mass (moving-mass) is installed on the spreader and moving this auxiliary mass controls tire swing motion. The actuator reaction against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container in order to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. However, measuring systems based on a laser sensor or other means are not veryuseful in real-worldapplications. So, in this paper, animage sensor is used to measure the motions of the spreader and the measured data are fed back to the controller in real time. The applied image processing technique is a kind of robust template matching method called Vector Code Correlation (VCC), which was devised to consider real environmental conditions. The H $\infty$ based control technique is applied to suppress the swing motion of the crane. Experimental results showed that the proposed measurement and control system based on an image sensor is useful and robust to disturbances.

A swing-up control strategy is suggested for a rotary inverted pendulum with restricted rotation range. In order to take the rotation range limitation into account, a new Lyapunov function used for energy-based control is proposed a control strategy is derived from the Lyapunov function. Futhermore, optimization-base parameter estimation is adopted to get an exact mathematical model for the pendulum. Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy swings up the rotary inverted pendulum efficiently.

The studies about the swing control of the travelling pendulum have been developed in many ways. Most of them deal with the linearized pendulum model. This paper shows that the pendulum can be modelled without linearization by using MATRIXx, the dynamics simulation software. The fuzzy controller for reducing swing of the travelling pendulum is implemented with fuzzy tools supplied by MATRIXx.
