Abstract

Current interfaces for operating cranes are non-intuitive and lack a user-centered design since the user constantly needs to determine the joint velocities that are required to generate the desired velocity of the crane’s hook. The presented research aimed to make crane operation more intuitive by using an innovative HMI which includes inverse kinematics and several controllers. The user directly specifies the desired direction the load should move in. Inverse kinematics was used to calculate necessary joint velocities, while controllers ensured that the real movement and the desired movement matched closely.
