In this paper we propose a sliding-mode antiswing control for overhead cranes. The objective of this study is to realize an antiswing trajectory control with high-speed load hoisting. A sliding-mode antiswing trajectory control scheme is designed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, where a sliding surface, coupling the trolley motion with load swing, is adopted for a direct damping control of load swing. The proposed control guarantees asymptotic stability while keeping all internal signals bounded. In association with a new antiswing motion planning scheme, the proposed control realizes a typical antiswing trajectory control in practice, allowing high-speed load-hoisting motion and sufficient damping of load swing. The proposed control is simple for a real-time implementation with high-frequency sampling. The effectiveness of the proposed control has been confirmed by experiments.

This paper proposes a new approach for the anti-swing trajectory control of overhead cranes that allows simultaneous high-speed load hoisting. The objective of this study is to design an anti-swing trajectory control scheme that is robust to unavoidable mechanical inaccuracies and installation errors such as locally sloped trolley rails. First, a coupled sliding surface is defined based on the load-swing dynamics, and then the stability of the coupled sliding surface is shown to be equivalent to that of trolley tracking errors. Next, a robust anti-swing trajectory control scheme, minimizing the coupled sliding surface asymptotically to zero, is designed based on the trolley and load-hoisting dynamics. Finally, the proposed control is extended to an adaptive scheme. In this study, the Lyapunov stability theorem is used as a mathematical design tool. The proposed control guarantees asymptotic stability of the anti-swing trajectory control while keeping all internal signals bounded. The proposed control provides a practical solution for the robustness problem caused by the usual mechanical inaccuracies and installation errors in application. The proposed control also provides clear gain-tuning criteria for easy application. The validity of the theoretical results is shown by computer simulation.

This paper proposes a motion-planning method for a high-performance anti-swing control of overhead cranes, where the motion-planning problem is solved as a kinematic problem. First, an anti-swing regulating control law is proposed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem, where the proposed anti-swing control drives trolley velocity regulating error asymptotically to zero while suppressing load swing rapidly to zero for given arbitrary high-speed hoisting motions. Then a motion-planning scheme is designed based on the concept of minimumtime control, the proposed anti-swing control law, and typical anti-swing crane-operation practices. The motion-planning scheme is free from the usual mathematical constraints in anti-swing control such as small swing angle, small hoisting speed, and small hoisting distance. The effectiveness of the proposed motion planning is shown by generating high-performance anti-swing trajectories with high hoisting speed and hoisting ratio.

This paper proposes a new trajectory-generation scheme for a high-performance anti-swing control of overhead cranes, where the trajectory-generation problem is solved as a kinematic problem. First, a new anti-swing control law is designed based on the load-swing dynamics, for which the Lyapunov stability theorem is used as a mathematical tool. Then a new trajectory-generation scheme is proposed based on the anti-swing control law and typical crane operation in practice. For g iven hoisting motions, trolley-traveling trajectory references are computed based on the concept of minimum-time control, and then anti-swing trajectories are generated based on the trajectory references through the anti-swing control law. The new trajectory-generation scheme generates a typical anti-swing trajectory in industry with high-speed load hoisting. The effectiveness of the proposed trajectory-generation scheme is shown by generating high-performance anti-swing trajectories with high hoisting speed and hoisting ratio.

MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical System) are MEMS in which the optical part plays a dominant role. The use of MOEMS as scanners and projectors has been studied lately. For high speed scanning applications, electrostatic comb drive actuation has several advantages. In this paper, we demonstrate the application of sliding mode control scheme for amplitude control of comb-actuated resonant microscanners. This method that leads to a simple and practical control function is simply extendable for microscanners with other type of actuation and even for any kind of oscillators that need amplitude control. The functionality and performance of the presented scheme is verified using numerical.

In this paper, a robust adaptive control strategy is proposed for trajectory control of an omnidirectional vehicle with three omni-wheels, which have the ability to move simultaneously with independently rotational motion. Actuators of the omnidirectional vehicle contain uncertainties and their parameters are unknown. By the Lyapunov stability, the asymptotic tracking performance can be assured. The proposed control scheme is demonstrated by actual tracking experiments using the omnidirectional vehicle system. Experimental results showed promising tracking performance for the proposed method as compared to traditional sliding mode controller.

A sliding mode control algorithm is proposed for a class of linear unmatched uncertain systems.The unmatched disturbance is will not be amplified by the discontinuous control. In order to reduce chattering, a bipolar sigmoid function without high frequency switching is induced. The control scheme developed is based on integral sliding mode and rate reaching law and stability is ensured using the Lyapunov method. An illustrative example shows the applicability of the method.

The objective of this study is to solve serious robustness problems in the anti-swing trajectory control of overhead cranes caused by unavoidable mechanical inaccuracies and installation errors such as locally sloped trolley rails. Based on the theoretical results in the preliminary study, this paper experimentally shows that the proposed anti-swing control solves this robustness problem due to the usual mechanical inaccuracies and installation errors in application.
