This paper presents a review of the state of the art in the area of cable-driven parallel
mechanisms. The basic kinematic architecture of cable-driven parallel mechanisms is first …

Generating a defined motion is one of the fundamental tasks for a machine. By definition, a
robot is a universal machine dedicated to creating motion that can be freely programmed. A …

Nowadays there are very little robot systems in operation in the field of medium to large-
scale handling and assembly mostly due to lack of repetitive processes or shortcomings in …

Large workspace is one of the promising advantages possessed by the cable-driven parallel
robots (CDPR) over the conventional rigid-link robots. This paper focuses on the dynamic …

Gait and balance training is an essential ingredient for locomotor rehabilitation of patients
with neurological impairments. Robotic overhead support systems may help these patients …

While haptic guidance can improve ongoing performance of a motor task, several studies
have found that it ultimately impairs motor learning. However, some recent studies suggest …

We present several prototypes of wire-driven parallel robots that we have recently designed
and which use two different actuation schemes. Two of them have been completed and …

A number of haptic devices have recently become available on the commercial market, and
these devices are becoming common not only in research but in consumer use as well. In …

This paper introduces a new simplified static analysis of parallel robots driven by
inextensible cables of non-negligible mass. It is based on a known hefty cable static …

Simulators are commonly used to train complex tasks. In particular, simulators are applied to
train dangerous tasks, to save costs, and to investigate the impact of different factors on task …
