Cable-driven parallel robot (CDPR) has the great potential for various applications in industry and everyday life. They consist of an end effector a base, which connected by several cables. CDPRs have large workspace compared to classic robots. CDPR simpler structure good dynamic properties, high carrying capacity, mobility low cost. The only drawback is that cables can work retraction cannot p...

One of the most challenging issues in adaptive control robot manipulators with kinematic uncertainties is requirement inverse Jacobian matrix regressor form. This inevitable case parallel robots, whose dynamic equations are written directly task space. In this paper, an controller designed for robots based on representation form, such that asymptotic trajectory tracking ensured. The main idea s...

Series elastic actuators (SEA) are playing an increasingly important role in the fields of physical human-robot interaction. This paper focuses on the modeling and control of a cable-driven SEA. First, the scheme of the cable-driven SEA has been proposed, and a velocity controlled DC motor has been used as its power source. Based on this, the model of the cable-driven SEA has been built up. Fur...

This paper investigates and presents a cable-driven robot to lower limb rehabilitation use in sagittal plane. The presented rehabilitation robot is used for a trajectory tracking in joint space. The paper covers kinematic and dynamic analysis, which reveals the tensionability of the used cables as being the actuating source to provide a rehabilitation exercises of the human leg. The desired tra...

This paper presents recent results from the Robotics Systems Laboratory at the Australian National University in the area of Robot Vision. Progress has been made in the design and construction of novel mechanisms for both active and panoramic vision, together with computer systems that facilitate real-time vision processing. The robot vision systems are being used to develop human-friendly robo...

Cable interference in cable-driven mechanisms (CDM) is a major challenge in their applications. The wrench closure workspace (WCW) in a fully constrained mechanism may not be realized unless cable interference is considered. This paper classifies all possible types of cable interferences for planar cable-driven mechanisms and presents an analytical solution to find the boundaries of the constan...
