Abstract :
A system for classifying different types of crane motion is presented. The classification system provides a framework to assess the influence that different crane interface devices have on efficiency. The efficiency effects of a joystick, pendent, and experimental visual interface are investigated for certain classes of crane motion. Experimental results suggest that significant efficiency benefits exist for cranes utilizing the visual interface.
