This paper presents a scheme for designing a state observer for container crane. If the system is completely observable with a given set of outputs, then it is possible to determine the states that are not directly measured. We consider reduced-order state observer with only trolley position sensing and with trolley position and container angle sensing. The gain matrix of the state observer is adjusted using a RCGAs. A set of simulation works is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
