Abstract Cable‐driven parallel robots (CDPRs) are in which cables used instead of rigid connecting elements. An important task here, as other areas robotics, kinematic calculations. The state the CDPR can be described either Cartesian workspace coordinates a pose or joint space via cable lengths. calculation lengths from given platform is relatively simple for CDPRs. In contrast, forward kinema...

The development of control technology on wind turbine application robots has played an integral role in facilitating the digitization inspection and maintenance energy industry. This paper presents a wind-turbine-climbing robot that determines service lifespan components subject to its payload capacity. model four rubber wheels, as driving mechanism for locomotion is being supported by Bowden c...

Autonomous mobile robots are becoming an integral part of flexible manufacturing system especially for material transport, cleaning and assembly purpose. The advantage of this type of robots is that the existing manufacturing environment need not be altered or modified as in case of conventional AGVs where permanent cable layouts or markers are required for navigation. These robots are also use...

Most robot arms use a central control box that contains the power electronics, .. the motor controllers and the coordinating computer. This paper presents a distributed control network that allows the power electronics and motor controllers to be placed adjacent to the motors. Each controller uses a DSP for all motor control w~th the individual controllers communicating wIth each other and a ho...

Abstract Kinematic analysis of under-constrained cable-driven parallel robots (CDPR) has been a topic interest because the inherent coupling between loop-closure and static equilibrium equations. The non-linearity problem is magnified with addition cable lengths their tensions based on elastic model. paper proposes an unsupervised neural network algorithm to perform real-time forward geometrico...

Industrial robots are most often position controlled and insensitive to external forces. In many robotic applications, however, such as teleoperation, haptics for virtual reality, and collaborative robotics, a close cooperation between humans and robots is required. For such applications, force sensing and control capabilities are required for stable interactions with the operator and environme...
