Determination of the Cable Span and Cable Deflection of Cable-Driven Parallel Robots

, 2017
S.106-116In this paper, a method is proposed to compute the so-called cable span, i.e. the space occupied by the cables when the robot is moving within its workspace. As the cables are attached to a mostly fixed point on the robot frame, the shape of the

Autocalibration Subsystem for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots

CoRR, 2019
For Cable-Driven Parallel Robots, the cable length is the only element we control. Better knowledge of this parameter will improve robot performances. We propose a new cable length autocalibration subsystem. It consists of an instrumented cable, inductive sensors and a controller for digital data processing.
