In this paper, we propose a novel dual-loop control scheme (DLCS). We did not see such investigation of DLCS in the previous research work. DLCS scheme is a combination of classical PID and advanced state feedback control techniques. The proposed technique is used to control swing angle and trolley position of a 3DOF crane. Extensive simulations have been carried out using MATLAB / Simulink and practically validated on a Quanser 3DOF crane system. Experimental results indicate that the proposed DLCS control scheme improves crane operation by damping the payload oscillations. The scheme also smoothen the trolley motion. Our suggested technique provides better performance in terms of payload oscillations comparing to the classical PID.

Successful performance in many everyday tasks requires compensating unexpected mechanical disturbance to our limbs and body. The long-latency reflex plays an important role in this process because it is the fastest response to integrate sensory information across several effectors, like when linking the elbow and shoulder or the arm and body. Despite the dozens of studies on inter-effector long-latency reflexes, there has not been a comprehensive treatment of how these reveal the basic control organization that sets constraints on any candidate model of neural feedback control such as optimal feedback control. We considered three contrasting ways that controllers can be organized: multiple independent controllers vs. a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) controller, a continuous feedback controller vs. an intermittent feedback controller, and a direct MIMO controller vs. a state feedback controller. Following a primer on control theory and review of the relevant evidence, we conclude that continuous state feedback control best describes the organization of inter-effector coordination by the long-latency reflex.
