Abstract:Crane systems are widely used to transport large-scale cargoes in modern industry. In practical applications, crane systems always exhibit complicated double pendulum effects with non-negligible hook mass, which makes the control issue more difficult with strong nonlinearity and underactuated characteristics. To handle these issues, a new robust control strategy was proposed for double pendulum crane systems, which achieves accurate trolley positioning and effective swing eliminating. Specifically, by linearizing the original dynamic system, an approximate model was established with pendulum characteristics. Then, a super twisting-based continuous robust control method was presented, and the stability of the closed-loop system was proved rigorously by theoretical analysis. Finally, hardware experimental results were provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller on a self-built hardware experiment platform.
