This paper proposes an efficient proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control of a highly nonlinear double-pendulum overhead crane without the need for a payload motion feedback signal. Optimal parameters of the PID controllers are tuned by using an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algor...
