Input and output constraints control strategy-based model predictive control for double-link overhead cranes
摘要
In this paper, we propose a novel control scheme that integrates a disturbance observer with a nonlinear anti-swing control approach for underactuated overhead crane systems. Unlike existing methods, this strategy accounts for double-pendulum dynamics, unknown disturbances, and system constraints. First, a high-gain observer is designed based on the system’s dynamic equations to estimate the unknown disturbances. Then, a Lyapunov-based model predictive controller is developed, using the observer’s information along with a second-order sliding mode controller, which is used for tracking while adhering to system constraints. Through comparative simulations with conventional controllers, the proposed method is validated, demonstrating improved performance and robustness.
