N2 - The optimum control problem of an overhead crane with uncertain parameters is considered. The crane parameters, e.g., the payload mass, the cable length, hoisting velocity, hoisting acceleration are assumed to be interval quantities in the sense that they are known only within specified lower and upper bounds. The Monte Carlo technique is applied to guarantee the desired performance of the considered overhead crane model. The proposed method is used to find optimum values of the controller gains based on minimizing a least square error function. Simulation results are provided to show the usefulness of the suggested approach to control overhead cranes.
