In this paper, H-infinity control serves as primary strategy in combating external disturbance for overhead crane systems. The overhead crane model consists of a trolley, its cable tethering to a load, which is a highly nonlinear model. Therefore, the goal of moving the trolley while minimizing the oscillation of the load is challenging, particularly in the face of external disturbances. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to delineate the intricacies of the nonlinear overhead crane model. The design of the fuzzy controller relies on the Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) concept, focusing on rule-based control within the T-S fuzzy model framework. Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) are formulated based on stability conditions using Lyapunov functions combined with H-infinity performance, facilitating the computation of controller parameters. Subsequently, simulations are conducted to assess the efficacy of the H-infinity control strategy under the influence external disturbances.
