Milojkovic %J Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research %D 2012 %I %X It is well known that fuzzy logic can be used in the control of complex systems described by highly nonlinear mathematical models. However, the main difficulty in the design of a fuzzy controller comes with the adjustment of the controller¡¯s parameters that are usually determined by human experts¡¯ knowledge or trial and error methods. In this paper, we describe an implementation of fuzzy logic in order to reduce oscillations during the positioning of a 3D crane system. The fuzzy controller¡¯s structure is quite simple, requiring only two input variables. The proposed fuzzy controller has been applied to an experimental laboratory framework and results show that oscillations are significantly reduced. %K fuzzy controller %K anti-swing control %K 3D crane system %U http://www.etasr.com/index.php/ETASR/article/download/146/121
