Cable-Driven Parallel Robots: Typical Configurations, Analysis Techniques, and Control Methods
Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) have applications in large workspaces and at high operating speeds, which necessitates considering the mass and elasticity of cables for accurate analyses of kinematics, dynamics, workspace, trajectory planning, and control. In this article, first, the typical CDPR configurations along with their application areas are summarized. Then, … [Read more...] about Cable-Driven Parallel Robots: Typical Configurations, Analysis Techniques, and Control Methods
