Abstract

Cranes are used to move heavy cargo. While they are in general controlled by a human operator, automated systems are able to obtain more precise control. In this paper, we design a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy controller for the crane. For this, first a TS fuzzy model of the crane is developed, and a TS observer is used to estimate the unmeasurable states. The observer is tested in simulation and on a laboratory-scale 3D crane, while the controller is tested in simulation.
