Power transmission line inspection is of utmost importance for power companies towards having sustainable electricity supply to vast number of customers in major industries as well as households in a city. Inspection provides valuable data from status of the line, thus helps line engineers to plan for necessary repair or replacement works before any major damages which may result in outage. Con...

Abstract: This paper introduces a cable-suspended robot, the Vehicle Simulation System, designed for pilot and driver training. The main idea of this work is to make a system that will provide realistic simulations of vehicle motion using virtual reality and a motion platform. A method to produce inertial forces acting on the vehicle user is proposed. A detailed description of the robot’s dynam...

Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPR) employ extendable cables to control the pose of an end-effector (EE). If number is smaller than degrees freedom EE, and have no special arrangement reducing EE freedoms, robot underactuated, underconstrained: as a consequence, preserves some freedoms even when all actuators are locked, which may lead undesirable free motions. This paper proposes novel methodo...

Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) are a class of parallel robots whose legs are composed of cables. The cables are fixed to a mobile platform and the robot base frame. CDPRs are limited by the cable interferences and the collisions between cables and environment. Reconfigurable Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (RCDPRs) are able to reduce these drawbacks. By reconfigurable, we means that the cabl...

With the development of times, use electrical devices is essential for our daily live. For using these devices, we need cables to charge or connect them. So, people, can be found almost everywhere. The also bring new problems, like always appear in a messy form with crosses and knots. We have tidy up before them this time-consuming tedious task. And colleges companies where large number cables,...

Cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) are parallel robots that use coilable cables as legs. We are interested here in suspended CDPR for which there is no cable that exert a downward force on the platform. If we assume that the cables are mass-less and not elastic it has been shown that at a given pose whatever is the number m > 6 of cables there will always be at most 6 cables under tension simul...
