Milling refers to a class of material processing methods that relies on a high-speed rotating
milling cutter removing extra material to get desired shapes and features. Being distinct from …

This paper presents a review of the state of the art in the area of cable-driven parallel
mechanisms. The basic kinematic architecture of cable-driven parallel mechanisms is first …

Active wearable body brace embodiments provide selectable conformation control of the
interface between the trunk of a human subject and the brace, which conformation may be …

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 …

This paper presents a method for analytically generating the boundaries of the wrench-
feasible workspace (WFW) for cable robots. This method uses the available net wrench set …

This paper presents the motion control of a six degree-of-freedom tendon-based parallel
manipulator, which moves a platform with high speed using seven cables. To control the …

This paper addresses the static analysis of cable-driven robotic manipulators with non-
negligible cable mass. An approach to computing the static displacement of a homogeneous …

A cable-driven parallel mechanism (CDPM) possesses a number of promising advantages
over the conventional rigid-link mechanisms, such as simple and light-weight mechanical …

Regarding aspects like light-weight structure or fast dynamics, tendon-based platforms with
a parallel kinematic structure—ie Stewart–Gough-platform—represent a promising design …

A cable-driven parallel manipulator is a manipulator whose end-effector is driven by a
number of parallel cables instead of rigid links. Since cables always have more flexibility …
