6-D manipulation with aerial towed-cable systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new approach for the reliable 6dimensional quasi-static manipulation of an aerial towed-cable system. The novelty of this approach lies in the combination of results deriving from the static analysis of cable-driven manipulators with the application of a cost-based motion-planning algorithm to solve manipulation queries. Using this approach, we can ensure that the produced paths are feasible and do not approach dangerous configurations that could provoque the malfunction of the system. The approach has been simulated on the FlyCrane, consisting of a platform attached to three flying robots using six fixed-length cables. The obtained results show the success and the suitability of the approach.

متن کاملFinite Element Analysis of under Water Towed Cables
The towing of an underwater object by means of a cable attached to a ship is an important problem in underwater technology. An underwater towed body is generally at the mercy of hydrodynamic and hydrostatic forces, which controls its motion through water. These forces affect the depth characteristics of the towed body giving specific configuration to the towline. This work consists of the devel...
متن کاملDynamic Simulation of a Multi-Cable Underwater Towed System
In this paper, a numerical method for dynamic simulation of a multicable underwater towed system is proposed. The system consists of a tow cable, a towed body and two arrays. The equations of motion for cables are based on Ablow and Schechter (1983) and the six-degree-offreedom ordinary differential equations are used in analyzing motion of a towed body. The boundary conditions of the system ar...
