Parallel kinematic mechanisms (PKM) have received particular attention due to their higher
stiffness, increased payload capacity, and agility, when compared to their serial …

Generating a defined motion is one of the fundamental tasks for a machine. By definition, a
robot is a universal machine dedicated to creating motion that can be freely programmed. A …

Cable-suspended robots are structurally similar to parallel actuated robots but with the
fundamental difference that cables can only pull the end-effector but not push it. From a …

Cable-suspended robots are structurally similar to parallel actuated robots but with the
fundamental difference that cables can only pull the end-effector but not push it. From a …

We present the Networked InfoMechanical System for Planar Translation, which is a novel
two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) cable-driven robot with self-calibration and online drift …

Several systematic approaches have been developed for the optimal design of cable-based
systems. Global indices are usually employed to quantify the effectiveness of a specific …

This paper presents the implementation of a vision-based position control for planar cable-
driven parallel robots. The main contribution of this paper contains three objectives. First, a …

We present NIMS3D, a novel 3-D cabled robot for actuated sensing applications. We
provide a brief overview of the main hardware components. Next, we describe installation …

This paper presents a survey of cable-driven robotics. The focus is on suspended designs,
in which a comprehensive review is provided. Attention is given to both applications as well …

This paper tackles the problem of improving the connection between the fixed frame and the
end-effector of planar and spatial cable-driven robots. A new design concept is detailed …
