    abstract     = {Summary: This paper presents a novel segmented energy analysis based regulation approach for underactuated 2-dimensional (2D) overhead cranes. First, a new energy storage function is constructed via segmented analysis for the crane system. Then, a novel energy coupling control law is designed, and the closed-loop system is proven to be asymptotically stable by Lyapunov techniques and LaSalle's invariance theorem. Furthermore, numerical simulation and practical experiments are implemented to verify the superior control performance of the proposed approach even in the presence of various external disturbances.},
