Robotic automation has been the major driving force in modern industrial developments. High speed pick-and-place operations ...nd their place in many manufacturing applications. The goal of this project is to develop a class of high speed robots that has a planar workspace. The presented robots are intended for pick-and-place applications that have a relatively large workspace. In order to achi...

Employing cables with strong flexibility and unidirectional restraints to operate a camera platform leads stability issues for robot long-span considering the cable mass. Cable tensions, which are constraints platform, have critical influence on of robot. Consequently, this paper focuses two special problems minimum tension distributions (MCTDs) within workspace sensitivity analysis (CTSA) by t...

This paper investigates a new approach for solving the forward kinematics of cable-driven parallel robots. This approach combines an interval algorithm with neural networks to provide a fast but accurate initial guess. The neural networks increase the computation speed by a factor of 200 or more, while the interval algorithm provides guaranteed convergence and a definite solution to any chosen ...

This paper studies the kinematics and statics of cable-driven parallel robots with less than six cables, in crane configuration. A geometrico-static model is provided, together with a general procedure aimed at effectively solving, in analytical form, the inverse and direct position problems. The stability of equilibrium is assessed within the framework of a constrained optimization problem, fo...

In this papercable-based architectures are classified as active (i.e. cable parallel robots) and passive (wirebased measuring systems). For both classes the identification of applied/exerted wrenches is of fundamental importance for the use and feasible operation of the system. A suitable model and low-cost easy operation system for tension monitoring are proposed for experimental validation fo...

the load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. the cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. the tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...
