Inspection of cable-stayed bridge cables using a robot
IABSE Reports, 2023<p>Currently, all bridges in Japan are required to be inspected once every five years. Close visual inspection should be carried out for all members. Cables in cable-stayed bridges are extremely important members. However, it is very difficult to perform close visual inspection since it is located at a very high place. They are visually inspected

An application of robotic cable harness bundling
Proceedings. 1986 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1986Cable harnesses are used in various equipment including automobiles, airplanes, locomotives and computers. In the Cable Harness Design and Assembly System, cables are designed at a CAD workstation and the cable harness is built by a remote robot. This paper covers the bundling subsystem of the Cable Harness Design and Assembly System.

Modeling and analysis of cable vibrations for a cable-driven parallel robot
2016 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA), 2016In this paper we study if approximated linear models are accurate enough to predict the vibrations of a cable of a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot (CDPR) for different pretension levels. In two experiments we investigated the damping of a thick steel cable from the Cablerobot simulator [1] and measured the motion of the cable when a sinusoidal force is ...

Synchronization Control in the Cable Space for Cable-Driven Parallel Robots
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2019Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) have low moving inertia and provide high-speed motion over a large workspace. The main challenges of CDPRs stem from the fact that cables should be in tension during motion control. Cable tension is closely related to the synchronization motion relation between cables which is often omitted in the existing ...

Study of effect of cable yielding in cable-driven robotic system
IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004This paper presents a method for characterizing the performance limitations imposed by the yielding of the cables in a planar robotic mechanism with a cable-driven transmission. The method involves developing a model for the cable tensions based on a rigid-body model of the system, where the tensions are considered as reaction forces.

Modeling control and simulation of cable robots
Third International Conference on Advances in Computing, Electronics and Electrical Technology - CEET 2015, 2015The proposed work deals with modeling, control and simulation for a class of non linear dynamic systems that is cable robots in order to analysis behavior of insects in free flight. One of the main features is to establish, from the geometric and kinematic equations, the mathematical model that describes evolution of the gripper robot.

Planar Cable Robot with Variable Stiffness
2015Variable stiffness modules add significant robustness to mechanical systems during forceful interactions with uncertain environments. Traditionally, most existing variable stiffness modules tend to be bulky by virtue of their use of solid components making them less suitable for mobile applications.

2016 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2016
The study of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) has attracted much attention in recent years. However, to the best of the authors' knowledge, no single software platform exists for researchers to perform different types of analyses for CDPRs of arbitrary structure.

Determination of the Cable Span and Cable Deflection of Cable-Driven Parallel Robots
2017In 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 cable span is a generalized cone.

Cultural heritage science envisages understanding of methods and techniques used by past painters and sculptors in creating their masterpieces of art. Existing devices for in situ and non-destructive, automated scanning are large and bulky and built around the assumption of a perfectly planar surface. We are developing a lightweight, portable robot for
