Abstract: The authors present a probabilistically complete planning approach for handling the lift path planning problem without prior picking/placing configurations. Firstly, this research introduces the concept of crane location ...

Abstract: Lifting capacity charts are tabulated and provided to operators and practitioners by mobile crane manufacturers. These charts are structured based on predetermined crane configurations, which consist of boom/jib length, ...

Abstract: Cooperative cranes are widely used in modern construction projects and can reduce the cost and time of heavy lift. The safety of cooperative crane lift can be improved by using simulation method. This paper proposes a ...

Abstract: Picking and placing configurations (PPCs) are critical for lifting-path planning, but are challenging to determine. The crane location regions (CLRs)-based sampler is an efficient method that can calculate PPCs, but it ...
