Underwater robots for cable following

Proceedings 2001 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems. Expanding the Societal Role of Robotics in the the Next Millennium (Cat. No.01CH37180), 2002
A sensor fusion technique is proposed for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to track underwater cables. The focus of this paper is to solve the two practical problems encountered in optical vision based systems in underwater environments: (1) navigation of AUV when cable is invisible in the image; and (2) selection of the correct cable when there ...

The design of cable-climbing robot

Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology, 2011
Currently, cable-climbing robot is still developing with diverse functions and working principles. The need of crossing the tower leads to its complex structure, large quality, and high processing cost, thus inappropriate for carrying in complex topography. So this paper provides a cable-climbing robot as climbing robot which is a rod-chain combination

Workspace analysis of cable-suspended robots with elastic cable

2007 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2007
This paper presents a kinematics and workspace analysis of cable-suspended manipulators with elastic cable. The mechanics of extensible cable with a deflection to its self-weight are studied. The problem of evaluating the workspace is approached by using a modified formulation for a deformable cable.

Workspace Analysis of a One Cable Planar Cable Robot

Proceedings of the 2018 4th International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, 2018
Rehabilitation robots are usually made of rigid links which make them heavy with limited Workspace. Cable robots are introduced in rehabilitation to compensate these weaknesses. However, cable robots have an important weakness that they can only apply tension. This can substantially restrict the workspace of the robot.

Design and Implementation of a Cable Inspection Robot for Cable-Stayed Bridges

Robotica, 2021
SUMMARYCable is the most important bearing structure of the cable-stayed bridges. Its safety has been of crucial public concern. Traditional manual cable inspection method has many defects such as low inspection efficiency, poor reliability and hazardous working environment.

SpiderBot: A cable suspended mobile robot

2011 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2011
SpiderBot is a cable suspended mobile robot that is designed to climb walls and hang from ceilings by shooting tethered plungers onto the surface. Removing the plungers, it reels in the web, aims, and repeats the process to climb farther. SpiderBots' design was inspired by the fictional character Spider-Man. The robot can be used for carrying equipment

The cable array robot: theory and experiment

Proceedings 2001 ICRA. IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.01CH37164), 2002
Cable array robots are a class of robotic mechanisms which utilize multiple actuated cables to manipulate objects. This paper discusses the defining characteristics and the important issues relating to this class of robots. One particular type of cable array robot with three cables is presented in detail including kinematic relations and dynamic ...

A robotic orthosis with a cable-differential mechanism

2017 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2017
Robotic orthoses have potential to assist people having difficulty in walking due to their neurological disorders. However, it is important to design lighter orthoses since additional weight and inertia from the device cause discomfort to the wearer and even instability during walking in some extreme cases.
