Abstract Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) offer high payload capacities, large translational workspace, and dynamics performances. Their rotational workspace is generally far more limited, however, which can be resolved using cable loops, as was shown in previous research. In the case of fully constrained CDPRs, loops induce unwanted torques on moving-platform (MP), causing it to tilt move ...

This paper presents a comprehensive comparison study on the dynamic performances of three planar 3-DOF parallel manipulators (PPMs): 3-RRR, 3-PRR, and 3-RPR. In this research work, discrete time transfer matrix method (DT-TMM) is employed for developing models manipulators. Numerical simulations using virtual work principle ADAMS 2016 software are performed to verify DT-TMM model PPMs. Numerous...
