Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are categorized as a type of parallel manipulators. In
CDPRs, flexible cables are used to take the place of rigid links. The particular property of …

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 …

Caves and lava tubes on the Moon and Mars are sites of geological and astrobiological
interest but consist of terrain that is inaccessible with traditional robot locomotion. To support …

In this work we present the novel planetary rover prototype “Archimede”. The rover is a four
wheel steering vehicle where each wheel is connected to the chassis by means of an …

CDPRs (cable-driven parallel robots) with passive limbs are characterized by simplicity of
construction and ease of control due to the reduction in the number of cables. However, the …

In this paper, we present a new family of overhead traveling cranes based on variable radius
drums (VRDs), called cable-based robotic cranes (CBRCs). A VRD is characterized by the …

绳牵引并联机构是一类以柔性绳索代替刚性连杆为驱动元件的并联机器人, 具有运动速度快,
承载能力大, 运动链惯性小, 工作空间大及环境适应性好等优点, 为工程问题的解决提供了新的 …

Abstract Cable Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) are parallel robots, in which the limbs are
replaced by cables that are guided by pulleys. In many papers, the pulleys are considered …

The presence of sinkholes has been widely studied due to their potential risk to
infrastructure and to the lives of inhabitants and rescuers in urban disaster areas, which is …

Controlling a chain of tethered mobile robots (TMRs) can be a challenging task. This kind of
system can be considered kinematically as an open-chain robotic arm where the mobile …
