Abstract

The paper describes the Inteco 3D Crane as a suitable scale-model to support practical training of students in control engineering and related fields. It also contains an illustrative case study controlling the payload position in 3D space in a robust way using the systematic polynomial approach, including also experimental identification of the crane dynamics in all three axes. As such, it can serve as an inspiration for both academic staff and students dealing with related fields of study.
