Design and Validation of a Novel Cable-Driven Hyper-Redundant Robot Based on Decoupled Joints
In most of the prior designs of conventional cable-driven hyper-redundant robots, the multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) bending motion usually has bending coupling effects.

Design and Evaluation of the LOPES Exoskeleton Robot for Interactive Gait Rehabilitation [PDF]
This paper introduces a newly developed gait rehabilitation device. The device, called LOPES, combines a freely translatable and 2-D-actuated pelvis segment with a leg exoskeleton containing three actuated rotational joints: two at the hip and one at the

Mechanical Analysis of a 3-DOF Under-constrained Parallel Robot with Variable Cable Mast Heights
The cable-driven parallel robot is a special flexible mechanism in parallel mechanism, the end-effector of which is driven by cables instead of rigid rods. It integrates the advantages of flexible robots and parallel robots.

Optimization and Control of a Planar Three Degrees of Freedom Manipulator with Cable Actuation
The paper analyzes a planar three degrees of freedom manipulator with cable actuation. Such a system can be understood as a special type of hybrid parallel kinematic mechanism composed of the rigid serial chain and the additional auxiliary cable system ...

A new hand rehabilitation system based on the cable-driven mechanism and dielectric elastomer actuator [PDF]
The increasing number of patients with hand disabilities after strokes or peripheral nerve injuries necessitates the continuous development of rehabilitation system devices to accelerate muscle recovery and to help patients regain the motor functions of ...

Out‐of‐plane reinforcement of masonry walls using joint-embedded steel cables [PDF]
The out-of-plane mechanism (rocking) of walls often causes fatalities and collapses of historic buildings during earthquakes. This paper addresses the problem of assessing the seismic resistance of walls subjected to out-of-plane bending, before and ...

Cable-Driven Mechanism Models for Sensitive and Actuated Minimally Invasive Robotic Instruments
Cable-driven mechanism models are, usually, included in actuated systems; however, recently, their use for sensitive systems has been explored. In this paper, two cable-driven multi-body mechanism models are compared, underlining advantages and ...
