“…The digital process chain allows a flexible use of different robotic manipulators, and novel topologies such as cable robots offer radically new possibilities, since they do not have such tight boundaries (Kraus 2016) and can be installed flexibly (Boschetti and Passarini 2017) to perform non-standard construction purposes at considerably larger scales (Barnett and Gosselin 2015;Landsberger 1985;Rodríguez 2011). They are commonly applied in carrying and/or positioning objects in space, such as (Bruckmann et al 2018), three-dimensional crane operations, ultra-fast positioning routines (Pott et al 2013), and are able to manipulate material at long distances and heights, for example in a warehouse storage and retrieval system (see Fig. 4).…”

This paper outlines an important step in characterizing a novel field of robotic construction research where a cable-driven parallel robot is used to extrude cementitious material in three-dimensional space, and thus offering a comprehensive new approach to computational design and construction, and to robotic fabrication at larger scales. Developed by the Faculty of Art and Design at Bauhaus-University Weimar (Germany), the faculty of Architecture at the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund (Germany) and the Chair of Mechatronics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany), this approach offers unique advantages over existing additive manufacturing methods: the system is easily transportable and scalable, it does not require additional formwork or scaffolding, and it offers digital integration and informational oversight across the entire design and building process. This paper considers 1) key research components of cable robotic 3D-printing (such as computational design, material exploration, and robotic control), and 2) the integration of these parameters into a unified design and building process. The demonstration of the approach at full-scale is of particular concern.

“…Bruckmann et al [12] analysed the performance of a CDPR in an AWS by means of a simulation experiment, and the results validated that the energy consumption was reduced by 37% compared with the conventional AS/RS. Thereafter, the energy consumption was reduced by optimizing the electrical hardware [13]. There are many optimization methods to reduce the energy consumption.…”

Design Optimization of Redundantly Actuated Cable-Driven Parallel Robots for Automated Warehouse System

et al. 2020

This study focuses on the optimization of the geometry configurations and mobile platform parameters of redundantly actuated cable-driven parallel robots (RA-CDPRs) for automated warehouse system (AWS). Owing to their potential structural advantages, RA-CDPRs are proposed to replace conventional stackers in AWS, to achieve a high payload mass and low cable tension in frequent automated retrieval/storage operations. To meet these operational requirements, the maximal payload criterion satisfying the wrench-feasible condition is used to determine the optimal geometry configuration. Based on the optimal geometry configuration, the minimal cable tension is designed as the other criterion for optimizing the mobile platform parameters of RA-CDPRs. The optimization method is validated on a 6-DOF RA-CDPR, and the optimal results are simulated and implemented under static equilibrium conditions. Both the simulation and experimental results verify the optimal results can significantly enhance the payload mass and decrease the cable tension of AWS.
