In the paper a model predictive control (MPC) approach for the automation of a boom crane with anti-sway functionalities is presented. In contrast to existing solutions the coupled nonlinear differential equations are considered in the dynamic model. The rope angle is measured by gyroscopes and reconstructed by observers. The system is realized on LIEBHERR harbor mobile cranes. Measurement results show the efficiency of the approach
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
