Fast and accurate positioning and swing minimization of the containers and other loads in crane manipulation are demanding and in the same time conflicting tasks. For accurate positioning, the main problem is nonlinear friction compensation, especially in the low speed region. In this paper authors propose position controller realized as hybrid controller. It consists of the conventional linear state feedback controller with additional friction selflearning neural compensator in the feedforwad loop. Selflearning compensator is based on the B-spline artificial neural network which consists of the one hidden layer of the B-spline second order functions. The experimental results show that friction compensator is able to remove position error in steady state.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
