A Panorama of Methods for Dealing with Sagging Cables in Cable-Driven Parallel Robots
, 2022 We are considering cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR), where the legs of the robot are constituted of cables that can be independently coiled/uncoiled. We show that whatever the size of the CDPR is we may have slack cables so that using a sagging cable model that takes into account both the mass and elasticity of the cables will improve the positioning
