Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method are provided herein for haptic-based force balance for anti-sway control of a payload. A haptic feedback system for crane operation is provided including: a controller; a first haptic device including a first haptic device tip; a second haptic device including a second haptic device tip; and a structural member connecting the first haptic device and the second haptic device, where the controller is configured to correlate the first haptic device tip to a first reference point on a payload and to correlate the second haptic device tip to a second reference point on the payload, and where anti-sway control of the payload is effected by movement of the structural member by an operator.
