... of the tensionable workspace. Therefore, we have examined two possible cable distributions for the 2DOF mechanism with one redundant cable. At the end, the method is applied to a two-redundant-cable mechanism and its tensionable workspace is compared with one-redundant-cable mechanisms. This corresponds...

... as adaptive cable-driven systems. Two simple design problems are presented and solved with both the traditional and the novel approaches, and the advantages of the latter are emphasized by comparing the resulting design solutions. cables (mechanical) design engineering end effectors manipulator...

Some of the authors addressed this issue with the ultimate goal of defining the workspace of this type of robot. In this section...
