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 …

In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge in the development and research of
tethered aerial systems, thus reflecting a growing interest in their diverse applications. Long …

The calculation of available wrench set of tethered multi-rotor UAVs is more challenging
than that of the traditional cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) with fixed anchor points, due …

The problem of carrying a bar-shaped payload suspended by flexible cables attached to two
quadrotors is analyzed in this work. The aerial vehicles and the load are dealt with as a …

This study investigates the formation planning problem of tethered multirotor unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) cooperative transportation with unknown payload and cable length …

This article proposes a novel method to determine the optimal cable attachment
configuration for reconfigurable cable-driven parallel robots (RCDPRs) considering different …

In this research, the design of general hybrid thruster cable-driven parallel robots (TCDPRs)
is studied. TCDPRs combine the actuation advantages of both cables and thrusters (rotors) …

Aerial Cable Towed Systems (ACTS) are composed of several Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) connected to a payload by cables. Compared to towing objects from individual aerial …

This article focuses on the static workspace (SW) of aerial cable towed robots (ACTRs) with
land-fixed winches and provides an optimization approach to maximize the size of such a …

Wind gusts are among the well-known disturbances that afflict aerial systems. A tracking task
for a load suspended by massless rigid bars and quadrotors is considered in this paper. The …
