Laser Scanned Real Environment for Intelligent Virtualization of Crane Lifting
This paper presents a Tower Crane Intelligent Lifting Path Planner (TCILP) for the lifting task in the environments which are highly complex. The environment can be old industrial plants existing over many decades, or sites with tentative storage spaces. Often, these environments do not have workabl...
