Design, analysis and realization of tendon-based parallel manipulators

Wire Robot Suspension Systems for Wind Tunnels

“…(Bruckmann, Mikelsons, Brandt, Hiller & Schramm, 2008a;Fang, 2005;Hiller et al, 2005;Verhoeven, 2004). Besides the acceleration potential, the large workspace of wire robots is advantageous which was addressed e.g.…”

Dimensional Optimization of Completely Restrained Positioning Cable Driven Parallel Manipulator with Large Span

“…A cable driven parallel manipulator, according to its number of cables (m) and degrees of freedom (DOFs) of end-effector (n), can be classified as follows (Verhoeven et al, 1998;Hiller & Fang, 2005) fixed end of the cable; E the elastic modulus; A 0 the unstrained cross-sectional area. Using the variables and coordinate system above, we will briefly reproduce Irvine's derivation in this paper (Irivne, 1981).…”

Generation of energy efficient trajectories for NIMS3D, a three-dimensional cabled robot

“…The authors of [8] describe generation of time-minimal trajectories for six degree-of-freedom parallel configurations, whereas [9] describes trajectory generation for cable based parallel manipulators. Much of this prior work aims to minimize time of execution of a desired trajectory, which often adversely affects energy efficiency.…”
