Input Shaping Control

While the crane control problem is often approached by applying a certain active control command to some parts of the crane, this paper proposes a cable-passive damper system to reduce the vibration of a four-cable suspended crane spreader. The residual sway and skew motions of a crane spreader always produce the angle deflections between the crane cables and the crane spreader. The idea in this paper is to convert those deflections into energy dissipated by the viscous dampers, which connect the cables and the spreader. The proposed damper system is effective in reducing spreader sway and skew motions. Moreover, the optimal damping coefficient can be found analytically by minimizing the time integral of system energy. The numerical simulations show that the proposed passive system can assist the input shaping control of the trolley motion in reducing both sway and skew responses.

Input Shaping Control

Cable-suspended robots are categorized as a type of parallel manipulator that has recently attracted interest in terms of manipulation tasks. The main goal of this paper is to develop a novel mechatronic kit with a control methodology for a modularized cable-suspended robot. The advantages of such system owns modular and reconfigurable over conventional robots. In addition, position and orientation of the end-effector is forced toward the desired values by control of cable lengths. Hence, the new approach for forward and inverse kinematic calculation procedure based on the change of the cable lengths is used to measure the position and orientation of the mobile platform. Furthermore, the input shaping algorithm is implemented for point-to-point control purposes. The modified input shaping uses the s curve command (S-type) to offer superior performance than conventional trapezoidal command (T-type) in point-to-point positioning control. Experimental validation demonstrates the cable oscillation suppression effectiveness of the proposed S-type input shaping control command.

Input Shaping Control

Most motion control systems are designed to satisfy the performance requirement in transient and frequency domain. The actuator effort of the control system is rarely considered during the design process. This paper investigates the effects of input shaping on actuator effort of PD combined with input shaping control for an inertial plant subject to four standard types of inputs. The actuator efforts of the control systems are described in general fomula. The acting regulation of PD controller parameters on the oscillatory frequency and damping ratio of actuator effort is investigated and the effect of input shapping on the magnitude of actuator effort is thoroughly analyzed. The research results show that PD feedback control enhanced with input shaping can effectively reduce actuator effort compared with PD control.

Input Shaping Control

A poorly designed control system can lead to excessive residual vibration and long setting time. This paper investigates the effect of input shaping on control efficiency. To perform this investigation, we design a PD controller combined with input shaping for an inertia plant. We then subject it to four standard types of inputs. The responses of the control systems are described by analytical expressions. The performances of PD control and PD combined with input-shaping control are thoroughly analyzed and compared. Simulation results show that PD feedback control enhanced with input shaping minimizes overshoot and setting time.

Input Shaping Control

In this paper, three control algorithms based on input shaping method are developed to suppress the residual vibration of a flexible beam. The flexible beam is modeled as an under-damped system. Three input shapers, ZV, ZVD, and ZVDD, are used to control the flexible beam. The three control algorithms are implemented by using the Mechatrolink-III motion system. The experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the three control algorithms.

Abstract Overhead cranes are extensively employed but their performance suffers from the natural sway of payloads. Sometime, the sway exhibits double-pendulum motions. To suppress the motions, this paper investigates the design of simultaneous input-shaping-based fuzzy control for double-pendulum-type overhead cranes. The fuzzy control method is based on the single input-rule modules (SIRMs). Provided the all the system variables are measurable, the SIRMs fuzzy controller is designed at first. To improve the performance of the fuzzy controller, the simultaneous input shaper is adopted to shape the control command generated by the fuzzy controller. Compared with other two control methods, i.e., the SIRMs fuzzy control and the convolved input-shaping-based SIRMs fuzzy control, simulation results illustrate the feasibility, validity and robustness of the presented control method for the anti-swing control problem of double-pendulum-type overhead cranes.
