The Dimensional Synthesis of Spatial Cable-Driven Parallel Mechanisms
Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics, 2013This paper presents a method for the dimensional synthesis of fully constrained spatial cable-driven parallel mechanisms (CDPMs), namely, the problem of finding a geometry whose wrench-closure workspace (WCW) contains a prescribed workspace. The proposed method is an extension to spatial CDPMs of a synthesis method previously published by the authors ...

Mechanism Design and Analysis for an Automatical Reconfiguration Cable-Driven Parallel Robot
2017 2nd International Conference on Cybernetics, Robotics and Control (CRC), 2017An automatical reconfiguration cable-driven parallel robot (ARCPR) is optimally designed on the basis of conventional cable-driven parallel robots, and it can realize the change of degrees of freedom (DOFs) from two to six. The 3D model for the ARCPR is built, and then the kinematics characteristics of the rotating guide-bar mechanism is analyzed.

Design and Modeling of a 2-DOF Cable-Driven Parallel Wrist Mechanism
2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2019This paper proposes a novel design of 2-DOF Cable- Driven Parallel Wrist Mechanism (CDPWM). This mechanism can achieve hemispherical movement in space which has a unconventional twin actuation. The configuration has a great flexibility (with no singular points within the entire motion range), and a large stiffness of 1.07 × 106 Nmm/rad.

Control of an Overactuated Cable-Driven Parallel Mechanism for a Radio Telescope Application
IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2009The large adaptive reflector is a Canadian design concept for a new type of large-scale radio telescope. This new telescope would be composed of a reflector made of individually actuated panels and a multitethered feed platform held aloft by an aerostat. This paper focuses on the position and orientation control of the feed platform. Models of both the

Design and Analysis of a Cable-Driven Flexible Finger Based On Continuum Mechanism
2018 IEEE International Conference on Cyborg and Bionic Systems (CBS), 2018Continuum manipulators have attracted lots of interests in the past few years, due to their super flexibility and dexterity. In this paper, a cable-driven flexible finger is designed and analyzed based on continuum mechanism. Compared with traditional rigid-link fingers, the proposed flexible finger shows excellent compliance and adaptivity. Mathematic

Decoupling Design and Fast Kinematics Resolving Method for Cable-Driven Segmented Manipulator
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: SystemsA cable-driven segmented manipulator (CDSM) has considerable potential in narrow space operations because it has a slender and light body with flexible mobility. However, the existing CDSM segment driving mechanisms are coupled to each other. The driving
