The manufacturing assembly process includes the manipulation of rigid and non-rigid parts. This paper discusses a method for the estimation of the cables' shape for robotic manipulation. The paper uses methods that take into account the mechanical behaviour of materials. More specifically, in the framework of static analyses, a higher-order analytic model of cables is introduced and the need for model calibration is pointed out. To this effect, analytical solutions are compared against experimental data. In addition, the performance of computational models is taken into consideration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
