Abstract: Cable driven parallel robot (CDPR) possesses large workspace, outstanding dynamic performance and high load capacity. However, due to the actuation method of CDPR, only limited motion modes ...

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) represent an innovative class of robotic systems that utilise flexible cables to actuate a moving platform. This design offers significant advantages over ...

A pod constructed from carbon-fibre rods is suspended by eight stout steel cables that are anchored in the walls of a large hall and are equipped with powerful motors. This, along with modern computer ...

One of the most basic problems with robotic arms and similar systems is keeping the weight down, as more weight requires a more rigid frame and stronger actuators. Cable-driven systems are a classic ...

Leading experts from all over the world will come together at the »First International Conference on Cable-Driven Parallel Robots« at the Institute Center of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in Stuttgart.

(Nanowerk News) Their very large workspaces, good mobility and high payload capacity allow cable-driven robots to meet high requirements. Developed by Fraunhofer IPA, the IPAnema cable-driven robot is ...

Graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built the first graffiti-painting robot system that mimics the fluidity of human movement. Aptly named GTGraffiti, the system uses motion ...

A mobile base with a diameter of approximately 1 meter and a height of approximately 1 meter travels to a target location, and during deployment its frame transforms from a compact triangular column ...

There have been a number of 3D-printing robots rolled out lately that can squirt out a house, but Tecnalia in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) has come up ...
