A reconfiguration strategy for Reconfigurable Cable-Driven Parallel Robots [PDF]
2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015 This paper deals with Reconfigurable Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (RCDPRs). A RCDPR is able to change the locations of its cable exit points, the latter being defined as the connection points between the cables and the robot base frame. Given a RCDPR, a set of possible reconfigurations, a desired platform path and a description of the robot environment,

A characterization of the reconfiguration space of self-reconfiguring robotic systems [PDF]
Robotica, 2011 SUMMARYMotion planning for self-reconfiguring robots can be made efficient by exploiting potential reductions to suitably large subspaces. However, there are no general techniques for identifying suitable restrictions that have a positive effect on planning efficiency.
