A Robust Payload Control System Design for Offshore Cranes: Experimental Study

This paper presents a robust controller design of payload position control for an offshore crane facing disturbance and parametric uncertainties. The offshore operations with cranes while lifting and lowering a payload can be dangerous since safety and efficiency are affected by waves, wind and ocea...
