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 …

This paper presents a new 6 degree-of-freedom cable-driven parallel robot fully constrained
by 8 cables. This robot should perform medium size 3D part printing. Its distinguishing …

In this study, a path-planning method that has been developed for serial manipulators is
adapted to cable-driven robots. The proposed method has two modes. The first one is active …

Cable-driven parallel robots offer significant advantages in terms of workspace dimensions
and payload capability. Their mechanical structure and transmission system consist of light …

This paper presents a survey of cable-driven robotics. The focus is on suspended designs,
in which a comprehensive review is provided. Attention is given to both applications as well …

Cable-driven robots have received some attention by the scientific community and, recently,
by the industry because they can transport hazardous materials with a high level of safeness …

In this paper, we study transverse and longitudinal oscillations and resonances in a hoisting
system induced by boundary disturbances. The dynamics can be described by an initial …

Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) are special manipulators where rigid links are
replaced with cables. The use of cables offers several advantages over the conventional …

In this paper, simulation and experimental tests are reported for a hybrid robot being used
for indoor and outdoor inspections. Automatic or tele-operated surveys can be performed by …

ABSTRACT A coupled dynamic modelling of the flexible guiding hoisting system is
established, which includes the transverse-longitudinal-coupled vibration and the rotational …
