Abstract

Tower crane is a popular model in industry. It helps to move constructing material from lower place to higher place and vice versa. Due to its importance in real application, educational experimental models are necessary to be built in laboratory for researching and training students. In this paper, an experimental platform of tower crane system is presented for testing algorithms. For a real model with un-known system parameters and MIMO under-actuated structure, intelligent control is a suitable selection. Fuzzy control is a primary algorithm in training intelligent control for students. Thence, an 81-rule fuzzy controller is designed and used to control position and anti-sway for this model. This idea is inspired from fuzzy control for SIMO system, such as inverted pendulum. Our controller gives good results under kinds of external effects. The quality of controlling is proved to be better under fuzzy controller than under no-control. Therefore, survey in this paper can be used to train students in fuzzy control structure for MIMO under-actuated system.
