Cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) is a type of high-performance robot that integrates cable-
driven kinematic chains and parallel mechanism theory. It inherits the high dynamics and …

This paper addresses the topological and dimensional synthesis of cable-driven parallel
robots. A combined methodology for type and size optimization is proposed and applied to a …

Neurological injuries are one of the main reasons for the loss of functional mobility in
humans. Compromised functionalities may include restrictions in the shoulder's range of …

Cable-driven robots can be an ideal fit for performing post-stroke rehabilitation due to their
specific features. For example, they have small and lightweight moving parts and a relatively …

This paper presents an upper limb exoskeleton that allows cognitive (through
electromyography signals) and physical user interaction (through load cells sensors) for …

Dyskinesia of the upper limbs caused by stroke, sports injury, or traffic accidents limits the
ability to perform the activities of daily living. Besides the necessary medical treatment …

Since most of the cable-driven parallel manipulators (CDPMs) are small in dimension or low
in speed, the self-weight or inertia of the cable is neglected when dealing with the problems …

The ankle is formed by several joints, and it is the union of the lower leg with the foot. Its
main function is to perform dorsiflexion and plantar flexion movements. Many people are …

This paper presents a novel cable-driven parallel robot with the aim of rehabilitating/
exercising young and disabled children in drawing and writing tasks. The pyramidal …

This paper addresses the design of a novel bionic robotic device for upper limb
rehabilitation tasks at home. The main goal of the design process has been to obtain a …
